Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al Nassr side wrapped up the first half of their season earlier in December with a defeat to Al Ittihad as the league takes a break with the Saudi Arabia national side now taking part in the Gulf Cup.

After 13 games, the Riyadh based side are already 11 points behind table toppers Al Ittihad and a tilt at the Saudi Pro League title looks like a long shot for Ronaldo’s side.

With the league not resuming until 9 January (2025), Cristiano and his family have swapped the Saudi heat for the arctic cold of Lapland with the striker sharing a series of photos on his social media accounts showcasing snow bikes and even a pose in sub-zero conditions showing off his muscular physique as the now 39-year-old player enjoys some downtime with his family.
