Cristiano Ronaldo stunned his fans by posting a picture of himself “recharging” in a Saudi resort that cost 700 pounds per night. The picture showed Ronaldo’s feet appearing swollen.
The forward for Al-Nassr, who is 38 years old, scored his 50th goal since joining the Middle Eastern club on Friday. He did so by converting a penalty kick in a victory over Al-Ahli by a score of 1-0.

And, despite more than 20 years in football, he still maintains a strict rehabilitation regime after games.
Using a device that was manufactured by the wellness firm Erakulis, Ronaldo posted a picture of himself resting down with his legs in the device.
Finally, he included a little caption that said, “Recharging.”
On the other hand, people who were on social media were more concerned with the feet of the Portugal captain.
Even though he was lying in front of a swimming pool at the luxurious St. Regis hotel in Saudi Arabia, it appeared as though they were bruised and swollen.
As a response to the picture, one of the fans commented, “Look at his feet man, imagine the pain he goes through EVERYDAY.”
A different individual stated: “22 years of pro footy man look at his feet.. he wakes up with crazy pain everyday for sure.”
An additional individual responded: “This is worse than LeBron [James], wow, I heard he used to wear super tight boots too.”
According to the response of a fourth individual, “His big toes are screaming for help.”
Since he moved to Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon in 2003, Ronaldo has participated in at least 35 club games in each of the 21 seasons that have already passed since his arrival.

Over the past few years, he has participated in more than one thousand matches at the club level, and he has also earned more than two hundred caps for Portugal.
As of the middle of the 2022/23 season, he has made 58 appearances with Al-Nassr, during which time he has scored fifty goals.
However, it appears like his hunt for a maiden Saudi Pro League title will continue as his team currently sits in second place in the table, 12 points behind the leaders Al-Hilal, who are currently riding high.
After collecting a 28th consecutive victory across all competitions, Al-Hilal just established a new global record for the most consecutive victories in a single season.
