A photo of the dressing room Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo had to use while playing for Al-Nassr last week Friday.

Ronaldo guided his team to a resounding 5-0 triumph against Al-Fateh on August 25, accomplishing a hattrick and delivering a delightful backheel assist that contributed to one of Sadio Mane's two goals.

Al-Fateh do not enjoy the same level of financial support as many of its Saudi Pro League rivals, which includes the four clubs owned by the nation's well-funded Public Investment Fund - Nassr, Hilal, Ahli, and Ittihad.

This disparity was evident in their away dressing room, which consisted of a plain room furnished with basic chairs, serving as the space where Ronaldo and his teammates' kits were set up.

In an image circulated on social media, the jerseys of Ronaldo's teammates appeared to have been casually placed atop each chair, reminiscent of scenes often witnessed in Sunday League football.
