Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar spend their birthdays very differently.
Today is the birthday of two of the greatest football players. Neymar Jr and Cristiano Ronaldo celebrate another birthday, but they celebrate them differently. While both stars play in the Saudi Pro League, both players celebrate their special day in their own way.
Neymar turns 32, while Cristiano Ronaldo turns 39 today. Neymar has been spending his birthday this weekend with friends at the casino. The Brazilian has been spending lots of time with family and friends after suffering an ACL injury in October. The injury takes him out for the rest of the season, and he will also miss the Copa America tournament in the summer. His return on a football pitch could be after summer end, which is still seven months away. Neymar posted on his Instagram a short video of him playing poker and wrote, “Bday with friends.”
Santos FC, Al Hilal, and FC Barcelona have sent their birthday messages to Neymar publically while the Brazilian reposts it on his Instagram stories. Neymar seems to have had a birthday weekend with more images of his time playing poker with friends over the weekend and a chill time outside.
Cristiano Ronaldo seems fully recovered from injury and attends training for his birthday
Cristiano Ronaldo seems unfazed about turning 39 as he seems focused on winning important titles for Al-Nassr. Al-Nassr published a birthday post for Ronaldo and also recorded a video of Ronaldo joining team training. Ronaldo receives a cake on the training pitch and cuts it. He has a funny moment after he cuts his cake as he says to his teammates, “Let’s go, let’s go training, let’s go!”
Former clubs like Manchester United, Juventus, and Sporting CP wished Cristiano Ronaldo a happy birthday. Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will play a friendly against Al Hilal this Thursday. Al-Nassr will play in the AFC Champions League next week as Ronaldo wants to help the Saudi Arabian club win the tournament and the Saudi Pro League this season.
