UD Almeria have moved into the automatic promotion spots in Spain's Segunda Division following a commanding 3-0 victory over Cultural Leonesa. The result has drawn significant attention due to the involvement of Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently acquired a 25% stake in the Andalusian club. As the promotion race intensifies, the Al-Nassr captain has been quick to voice his support for the project from afar.

It has been claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo was once looking to construct a mansion, during his first spell at Manchester United, that would have included a “jacuzzi at the foot of his bed”. Said project never got off the ground, following discussions with planners, and the Portuguese icon - who now owns several luxury houses - left England for Real Madrid in 2009.

Former Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe has weighed in on the eternal GOAT debate between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Frenchman has explained exactly why he believes that Argentine genius Messi operates on a completely different level, citing his natural talent and unmatched technical superiority.

Cristiano Ronaldo boasts supernatural qualities, with former Real Madrid team-mate Marcelo billing the Portuguese GOAT as an “extraterrestrial”. Many have suggested down the years that Ronaldo may not be from this world, given his record-shattering exploits, and a Brazilian colleague at Santiago Bernabeu has suggested that CR7 may be an alien from a different planet.

Cristiano Ronaldo has reassured fans and thrown his weight behind his Al-Nassr team-mates ahead of their vital Saudi Pro League fixture against Neom on Saturday evening. Posting an image of himself undergoing rehabilitation in Spain, the Portuguese icon shared an encouraging message after suffering an injury.
