Ronaldo excites everyone once again

Cristiano Ronaldo reveals a daring new haircut, sporting a tight buzz cut that radiates masculinity ahead of his comeback with Al-Nassr.

Cristiano Ronaldo attracted attention with his fresh look upon returning to training with Al-Nassr in Riyadh this week. The 40-year-old superstar appeared with a striking shaved head, exuding the aura of a true warrior with every step on the training ground. Known for frequently changing his hairstyle, CR7 hopes this new image will bring him luck and success in the upcoming journey.

Despite turning 40, Ronaldo continues to break records and defy the logic of top-level football. In recent international matches, he had an emotional week: missing a penalty in a 1-0 victory over Ireland, then quickly redeeming himself with a brace in a 2-2 draw against Hungary.

With his goal in the 22nd minute, CR7 surpassed Carlos Ruiz to become the greatest scorer in World Cup qualifiers history World Cup with 40 goals, before increasing his tally to 41 just before halftime. Ronaldo has now scored a total of 143 goals for Portugal and 947 goals combined for club and country, a figure that commands respect from all other record holders.

Upon returning to Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo’s appearance was the first thing fans talked about. On Instagram, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner flaunted a military-style buzz cut, reminiscent of his look when he played for Juventus in 2020. Throughout his career, CR7’s hair has always been an extension of his style and personality, from the innocent curls at Sporting CP, the sharp spikes at Manchester United, to the voluminous blonde hair at Real Madrid. Who could forget the 2017 Champions League final in Cardiff, when the “curly-haired assassin” scored twice against Gianluigi Buffon, leading Real Madrid to a 4-1 victory over Juventus?

Off the pitch, Ronaldo remains the “king” of football commercially. His current contract with Al-Nassr earns him about $280 million (equivalent to £209 million) per season, making him the highest-paid player in the world. Alongside this, the CR7 brand has grown into a global empire, including perfumes, hotels, and a chain of gyms. Every move, hairstyle, and even each Instagram post generates headlines and, more importantly, huge revenue for this empire.
