CRISTIANO RONALDO is set for an awkward reunion with Sergio Ramos at Al-Nassr.
The pair were long-term team-mates throughout Ronaldo's nine years at Real Madrid.

Ironically, Ronaldo represented the Saudi Pro League XI against PSG in one of his first games since his shock move – with both Ramos and Messi featuring for the French side.
And it was a howler by the centre-back that gifted Ronaldo his goal.
Although like Ramos, Messi's current PSG contract expires this summer – and he could make his way to the Middle East if he opts against a dramatic Barcelona return.
