EVEN Cristiano Ronaldo gets starstruck sometimes.
Ronaldo, 39, has been lighting up the world’s screens on a football pitch for more than two decades, but it seems even the legendary CR7 can’t help but fanboy a bit when The Undertaker comes to town.

It seems even Ronaldo can get a little starstruck
The WWE icon turned up in Saudi Arabia for a friendly match between Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr and league leaders Al-Hilal.
Just as the game was about to kick off the lights dimmed in the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.
Then an abrupt gong – familiar to WWE fans – echoed around the arena to signal the arrival of The Undertaker.
Fans online were proclaiming football had “peaked” following the introduction of one of WWE’s biggest legends.
And it seemed even Ronaldo could not help but be excited himself.
TV footage showed the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star talking to team-mates with a huge grin on his face and smiling as The Undertaker unveiled the prize for winning the friendly.
Fans online couldn’t help but notice his reaction.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan said: “Ronaldo is enjoying 😂.”
A second said: “Looks like fanboy moment for Ronaldo.”
A third added: “The crossover we didn’t know we wanted.”
Another said: “Ronaldo has been an Undertaker fan all his childhood life 😭.”
A fifth said: “When Goat meet a legend.”
Ronaldo was unable to collect the trophy, though, as Al-Hilai won 2-0 thanks to goals from Salem Aldawsari and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
2019 saw Saudi Arabia and WWE sign a multimillion dollar, ten-year contract that would see the wrestling giants host a number of profitable pay-per-view events in the Middle Eastern nation.
Undertaker has competed in multiple matches across the nation, facing off against competitors such as Triple H, Shawn Michaels, AJ Styles, and Goldberg.
