Al-Nassr Captain Cristiano has returned to back to duties in Saudi Arabia, after watching Portugal crush Armenia 9-1 to secure a 2026 World Cup spot, having missed the game due to a red card against Ireland.

Ronaldo posted his return on X on Friday night simply stating: “Back 🟡🔵” with a picture wearing an unusual No. 9 bib—just a random training assignment, not a permanent switch from his iconic No. 7—which sparked fan buzz on social media.
