The celebrations were wild! Songs were sung as the drums were being pounded and car horns ran wild with rhythm. In fact, it was so lively for so long that Ronaldo had to signal them to stop the celebrations because he wanted to get some beauty sleep.

Amid all the chaos, Ronaldo was able to gift a young boy a memory he will cherish for the rest of his life.
The boy wanted to meet the five-time Ballon d'Or winner but was reportedly denied the opportunity to do so by security.
But despite this barrier, the boy had finally gotten his wish and was taken to Ronaldo's room where he was given a signed Al Nassr jersey.
He also took the opportunity to perform the iconic 'siu' in front of his idol!
