Cristiano Ronaldo is never far away from the discussion as it was proved by time and time again and it has occurred once more after the journalists asked about him Carlo Ancelotti before the much-anticipated game for Real Madrid against Barcelona.
Real Madrid will be playing in the Super Cup final two years in a row after beating Valencia 4-3 on penalties in the semi-final and their arch-rival Barcelona is on their way, while they will be eyeing to clinch the title for a record 13 times.

The high-octane clash will be held at the King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, the home town of Cristiano Ronaldo’s new club ‘Al Nassr’ after the Portuguese pulled off a sensational move from Manchester United on January 3.
Previously, Real Madrid confirmed the invitation to the legendary CR7, and the five-time Ballon D’or responded to them and had seen visiting the Los Blancos team already.

When asked about one of the best footballers in the world in terms of Cristiano Ronaldo, the Real Madrid boss said, “Yesterday we saw Cristiano and he is happy, motivated, and likes this new adventure and the decision he has made.”
Ronaldo is yet to make his debut for Al Nassr after the English FA imposed a two-match ban due to the offense at Goodison Park back in 2021 against Everton and expected to play in the highly awaiting friendly match against PSG on January 19 which is named ‘Beyond Imagination’.

Carlo Ancelotti managed some of the great footballers of all time during his career, but Cristiano is obviously his favorite and the Italian veteran simply loves the CR7 deeply.
“Ronaldo likes the place and the country. He is highly motivated and has made the correct choice for his life. I love the boy.”- the champion manager concluded.
