The young fan couldn't contain his emotions and was crying in the tunnel before going out with Ronaldo. During the anthems, he looked back at the legend of Real Madrid and Manchester United multiple times.

The Al-Nassr captain made sure the fan felt comfortable and was seen hugging him, even as he continued to cry.

Ronaldo, who is 40 years old, shared a video of this touching moment on his X platform, accompanied by a heartfelt post.

“I made a new friend. Thank you for the love and support every day, and I hope everyone can pursue their dreams!”

This young fan has evidently become a lucky mascot for Ronaldo, as he scored his 139th and 140th international goals. The first came in the 21st minute when he took the field wearing the number 21 alongside Diogo Jota.

The former Liverpool striker passed away in July due to a road tragedy in Zamora, Spain.

The victory against Armenia with a score of 5-0 was Portugal's first since his death.

Ruben Neves honored the memory of his former Wolves partner by taking the number 21 in the national team. Defender Joao Cancelo dedicated his celebration to Jota's memory, repeating his famous playing gesture.

Ronaldo's two goals also helped him reach 38 goals in World Cup qualifying matches — a record, as Lionel Messi has 36.

Now Ronaldo is just one goal short of the all-time record holder Carlos Ruiz, who scored 39 for Guatemala.

This moment between Ronaldo and the young fan occurred just a day after the footballer pushed away another fan.

A greedy supporter approached Ronaldo during a walk in the Portugal national team's hotel, but he made it clear that it was not appropriate to come too close.

This incident highlights the importance of interpersonal relationships in sports, as even global icons like Ronaldo find time to support young fans who inspire them in the game.

Moreover, Ronaldo's successes on the field continue to evoke admiration, especially in light of recent tragedies within the team, making his achievements even more significant.
