News 18  

Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has grabbed the headlines since he joined Saudi club Al-Nassr in December 2022 with the 38-year-old being handed over the captaincy as well. His teammate and midfielder Jaloliddin Masharipov has opened up about how the rest of the squad reacted to Ronaldo being named captain right at the start. While speaking to Sports.ru, Masharipov revealed that the entire squad backed Ronaldo as captain because it would have been strange otherwise. Masharipov refuted rumours that Ronaldo was being given special treatment and added that he was happy to vacate his No.7 shirt for the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
