Cristiano Ronaldo is living his best life both on and off the pitch. On Friday, the soccer icon scored to help Al Nassr draw against Saudi Champions Al Hilal. Today, Ronaldo was one of the VIP guests in attendance for the heavyweight clash between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury. The match in itself was a thriller with Fury suffering a split-decision defeat. Yet, the talking point of the night was CR7’s dapper Gucci-themed outfit and his eye-catching timepiece.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s outfit yesterday cost over $4000! The Portuguese star kept things elegant with a white-cream Gucci outfit. The shorts cost $1415 while the shirt was worth $2884. However, the highlight was his Franck Muller watch which cost a staggering $1.5 million. The watch is adorned with 424 shining white diamonds, the reason for its high price. Previously, back in 2018, Ronaldo had shown off this watch in the press conference ahead of the Juventus Manchester United game.

When it comes to timepieces, Cristiano Ronaldo usually prefers Jacob & Co. After all, he was a brand ambassador for the brand way back in 2013. Even at Al Nassr, the 5 time Ballon d’Or winner has been spotted with the $2 million Jacob & Co Twin Turbo Furious! Hence, it remains to be seen if the Portuguese star has penned a deal with Franck Muller.

Notably, Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t the only celebrity in attendance yesterday. He was seated next to British boxer Anthony Joshua. Furthermore, fellow soccer player Neymar as well as Al Ettifaq boss Steven Gerrard were in attendance as well. While CR7 and Neymar have been fierce rivals on the pitch, there was only warmth and admiration between the pair today.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s touching exchange with Neymar at Fury vs Usyk

Footage on X showed the interaction between Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar. The Portuguese star asked, “How are you, everything is fine? What about injury?” Everything was indeed ‘fine’ per the Brazilian.  An untimely ACL injury meant that Neymar was limited to just 5 games for Al Hilal this campaign. Also, Cristiano Jr had accompanied his father. CR7 added, “Tomorrow he has school. I told him you will come to watch boxing with me.”

As per reports, Neymar’s recovery is going better than expected. The star had uploaded a post of his workout recently on Instagram. Although he wasn’t included in the Copa America squad, the expectation is that he would be back to full fitness by pre-season. Cristiano Ronaldo’s encounters with Al Hilal were tough already, but it could be about to get even harder.
