Star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his birthday with friends and family in Ryadh, Saudi Arabia on Sunday (February 6).
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner turned 38 and the Portuguese star took to Instagram to share the photos from the celebration.
The Al-Nassr forward posted three pictures which featured his wife Georgina, son Cristiano Jr. along with other friends and family.
“Thank you everyone for all the birthday messages. I am grateful to have spent the day with my family and friends”: he captioned the photos.
Sharing the post on his Instagram story, he wrote, “We only live once, but if you do it right once is enough!”
Ronaldo’s birthday week started just as he would have wished for- a goal for his new club. He took the ball out of team-mate Talisca’s hands to net a stoppage-time penalty and scored his first goal for new club Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo’s spot-kick rescued a 2-2 draw at Al Fateh after he failed to score in his first two games for Al-Nassr.
He wrote afterwards: “Happy to have scored my first goal in the Saudi league and great effort by whole team to achieve an important draw in a very difficult match!”
