Step inside the museum today, and you’ll be greeted by familiar scenes of Ronaldo’s triumphs – shiny golden boots, the illustrious Ballon d’Or trophies, and the narrative of a career that redefined the sport. But amongst this landscape, a detail that caught the eye was the jersey adorning Cristiano Ronaldo’s statue is no longer the red of Manchester United. Instead, the yellow and blue of Al-Nassr now stands proudly. This unforeseen alteration sparked a whirlwind of questions among fans. What prompted him to make such a profound change?
