Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has left Saudi Arabia for Madrid following the bombings in the Middle East, amid the suspension of competitions such as the Asian Champions League and the halt of football activity in the region. International media reported that the escalation of the military conflict in the Middle East has also had a major impact on the football world. Doubts are growing about Iran's participation in the upcoming World Cup, the venue for the Finalissima is being changed, and Cristiano Ronaldo has left Saudi Arabia after the bombings recorded in the region. Al Nassr was scheduled to play a match in Qatar, but the local federation decided to suspend all sporting activities until further notice. The Portuguese forward left Riyadh on his private jet, valued at around $82 million, and reportedly traveled to Madrid. Despite restrictions and the intermittent operation of airspace in several countries in the area, he received authorization to take off and flew for six hours to Madrid, where he landed in the morning. He is expected to remain in Spain until the situation in the Persian Gulf stabilizes.
