Cristiano Ronaldo has been making perfect use of his time away from the football pitch due to suspension, as he, partner Georgina Rodriguez and his five children enjoyed a picturesque holiday.
The 39-year-old picked up a red card in Al-Nassr’s Super Cup semi-final defeat to Al-Hilal earlier this month, resulting in a two-match ban.
As a result, Ronaldo will not be back in action until facing Al-Khaleej in the King Cup of Champions semi-finals on May 1.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has taken advantage of the enforced hiatus to his season and jetted off on holiday with his family.
He posted a series of images on X, formerly Twitter, including one of himself and Rodriguez in the sea with one of their children as well as the pair enjoying a drink in what looks to be a sauna.
He caption the images with the simple message: ‘Happiness.’ Rodriguez also shared some intimate snaps of the happy couple.
She uploaded a video of herself and Ronaldo walking up a Saudi Arabian beach, the two hand-in-hand, presumably after a thoroughly enjoyable swim.
Fans would have noticed this as the second getaway since the former Manchester United forward has taken since his dismissal for violent conduct earlier this month.
In his absence, Al-Nassr eked out a 3-1 win over Al Feiha to keep their faint Saudi Pro League title hopes alive.
But the encounter was not without incident. Without their usual penalty taker, the Riyadh-based outfit turned to ex-Liverpool forward Sadio Mane when they were awarded a penalty on the brink of half-time.
Unfortunately for Luis Castro’s side, the Senegalese ballooned his attempt well over the crossbar. Ultimately, though finally make good of their momentum when Saudi defender Abdulelah Al-Amri levelled the game on 72 minutes.
Having seized the initiative the hosts pushed on and Mane atoned for his earlier mistake to fire them in front on 76 minutes before adding a third with a sublime solo run moments later.
Ronaldo shared his congratulations to his teammates in a post on social media, writing: ‘Well done, Team’.
