Cristiano Ronaldo was supposed to be the big star of the Riyadh Cup 2024 season, where his team Al Nasser met Al Hilal, but the show was stolen tonight (Thursday) at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia by the legendary wrestler Undertaker.
The 58-year-old "The Undertaker" (Mark Callaway) was invited to the celebratory friendly match and presented the trophy with a show reserved only for him.
The Portuguese started together with Marcelo Brozovic, Emerick Laporte, Alex Telles and others, and Sadio Mane, who returned disappointed from the African Championship, entered as a substitute, but the leader of the table, who is ahead of Al Nasser by seven points and defeated it 0:3 in the league about two months ago, won this time as well.
Serbia's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic flicked a flat shot into the net in the 17th minute and then Salem Al Dawasari elegantly popped the second in a burst in the 30th minute.
The one who managed the game was the American referee Tori Panso who issued a yellow card to Ronaldo in the 54th minute.

In April 2022, the WWE fans said goodbye to the beloved wrestler and cheered him on his entry into the wrestling hall of fame, about two years after his retirement.
Undertaker then arrived at the American Airline Center, received the applause and burst into tears.
WWE president Vince McMahon defined him then: "The greatest superstar in the history of the organization."
