Barcelona and Inter Milan shared a compelling 3-3 draw in a high-octane Champions League semi-final first leg clash on Wednesday, with teenage star Lamine Yamal shining bright.
"There were some big names playing here. Before we went on the pitch they were next to me. It felt like it was a video game."
Ronaldo, the top scorer in this season's Saudi Pro League, has eight in seven appearances in this campaign's Champions League Elite, one short of joint-top scorers Riyad Mahrez, Salem Al-Dawsari, Anderson and Jasir Asani.
The 19-year-old forward, who trains daily alongside one of football’s all-time greats, is part of a promising Saudi Arabian generation aiming to make a statement on the global stage.
Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo-owned Pestana CR7 Hotel in Marrakesh, Morocco, avoided catastrophe recently when a fire broke out at the establishment but was quickly contained by the emergency services.
With 931 goals already to his name across club and country, Ronaldo needs just 69 more to etch his name into a category all his own.
Al-Nassr remain in the third place with 54 points but they are now three points behind second-placed Al-Hilal and seven off leaders Al-Ittihad, who visit Al-Ahli on Saturday.
Mbappe idolised Ronaldo while growing up and after joining Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain last summer, has equalled the Portuguese striker's tally of 33 goals in his first season at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Al-Nassr striker was highly critical of himself and his team's performance in the first leg in Copenhagen, where Portugal lost to a Rasmus Hojlund goal, but he is confident the home crowd can play a key role in turning the tie around.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Saudi side Al Nassr were on Monday drawn against last season's runners-up Yokohama F-Marinos of Japan in the quarter-finals of the Asian Champions League.
