Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo came to Iran to start participating in the Asian Champions League, where he will play against the famous club Persepolis in the region. Thousands of fans gave the former Real Madrid striker a warm welcome. Even a specific scene turns social networks upside down and features a Portuguese protagonist.
Cristiano Ronaldo has arrived in Iran and is rumored to be set to make his Champions League debut in front of a full stadium
Asia’s schedule is comparable to Europe’s, which is why Al Nasr arrived in Iran on Tuesday to start his Champions League campaign. Let us remember that in Europe, the Champions League group stage also begins on Tuesday, September 19.
The Arab national team arrived in Persepolis with its full squad, including Marcelo Brozovic, Aymeric Laporte and Sadio Mane. The powerful team built by Al Nasr is one of the leading candidates for the long-awaited AFC Champions League title.
Let us not forget that Al Nassr shares an area with Al Duhail in Qatar and Istiqlol Dushanbe in Tajikistan.
Upon his arrival in Iran, Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo received an exotic gift: a rug worth thousands of euros, famous for its very unique Persian details. There’s no doubt that the CR7 feels like the center of attention and attraction for Team Arabia.
Hundreds of young people in Tehran closely followed the bus route carrying Ronaldo and his teammates, but it was CR7 that received the most harangues, applause and admiration from the fans.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his team-mates have been unable to train due to overcrowding at the accommodation. Of course, the Azadi Stadium, which has a capacity of 78,116 fans, is expected to fill up well in advance.
In addition to this, the meeting between Persepolis and Nasser will also have an Arab audience, a fact made possible thanks to the procedures implemented by the Saudi government, in addition to the lifting of existing restrictions.
Let us not forget that next Tuesday, September 19th, this match will start at 1:00 pm (Colombian time)
