Inside Cristiano Ronaldo’s CR7 Life Museum – and Al-Nassr meet Bruce Lee
Post is invited to join Saudi club’s officials for a tour of the exhibits, and an encounter with a Hong Kong icon
As Cristiano Ronaldo prepared to play at Hong Kong Stadium on Tuesday, the Post was granted an exclusive tour of his CR7 Life Museum by members of his inner circle.
Joining a delegation from his Saudi club, Al-Nassr, for the short stroll from their Regent Hong Kong hotel to the K11 Musea shopping centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, we spent around 30 minutes circling a testimonial to an extraordinary career.
Jorge Jesus, the new Al-Nassr head coach, was particularly drawn to memorabilia celebrating Ronaldo’s time playing for Juventus, and a waxwork depicting him in Arab dress after his Saudi switch.
The club’s sporting director Simao Coutinho was in buoyant mood after securing the marquee signing of Kingsley Coman. Sources told the Post the 2020 Champions League winner’s arrival from Bayern Munich came after a year-long pursuit.
