"Ronaldo expanding the social media game like it’s FIFA Career Mode", the user wrote.
"Ronaldo’s following choices are his business", another user remarked.
"He’s waking up. He knows who the real ones are", another X user commented.
However, some X users were not happy with Ronaldo's decision and voiced disappointment, interpreting his action as a reflection of the athlete's personal values.
"Just lost all my respect for Ronaldo", one X user wrote.
"Ronaldo being a lover of the Tates despite all the stuff they’ve done[clown emoji]", another netizen commented.

The footballer also emphasized the unpredictable nature of the game, stating that both victories and setbacks are part of the process.
"But, for me, the most important thing is to be professional, to push hard, respect the club, respect your contract, and believe that things will change – for Al Nassr to try to win more titles", Ronaldo added
