Cristiano Ronaldo Flees Saudi Arabia Amid Middle East Tensions, Flies To Madrid

Al Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo has left Saudi Arabia late at night as tensions in the Middle East continue to rise.

The 41-year-old made the journey to Madrid, Spain, on his personal £61 million Bombardier Global Express jet. Ronaldo, who lives in Riyadh, departed amid reports of escalating attacks in the region, including drone strikes on the US embassy and claims from Iranian state media that a command and staff building in Bahrain was destroyed.

Flight tracking shows the luxury jet took off around 8pm and landed in Madrid at about 1am, completing a nearly seven-hour flight. Al Nassr, meanwhile, remains in the race for the league title despite the unfolding conflict.
