• Syrian kid achieves his goal to meet Cristiano Ronaldo amid the earthquake.
• Nabil Saeed pleaded with Syrian rescuers in a video posted on social media last month.
• The earthquake claimed the lives of more than 50,000 people.

A young Syrian youngster who had expressed his desire to meet Cristiano Ronaldo to rescue personnel following a deadly earthquake in February finally got his wish on Friday after being given the opportunity to witness his club Al Nassr play in Saudi Arabia.

Following the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked Turkey and Syria on February 6, Nabil Saeed pleaded with Syrian rescuers in a video posted on social media last month.

The earthquake claimed the lives of more than 50,000 people. More than 5,900 people have died in Syria, according to the authorities.
Before the game, a beaming Saeed briefly greeted the Portuguese forward and gave him a hug and a high-five.

Saeed told, “When I saw Ronaldo, I thought it was a dream. I didn’t believe myself. When this dream would end, I didn’t know. I pray to God that it will not be a dream.”

Saeed supported Al Nassr and Ronaldo as they defeated Al Batin 3-1 in Riyadh to maintain their two-point lead in the Saudi Pro League.

Saeed said, “I wish everyone could see Ronaldo. He is very nice person.”
