Ronaldo's private jet departs to Madrid after bombs hit Saudi Arabia

Cristiano Ronaldo’s luxurious private jet was spotted leaving Saudi Arabia to Spanish capital Madrid, after bombs reportedly struck the United States embassy in Riyadh.

Following the US and Israel’s missile attacks on Iran, some countries in the Middle East have been targeted by retaliatory strikes.

Iranian military officials have focused on countries in the region that host the US bases used to launch missile attacks. The US embassy in the Saudi capital was hit by two drones overnight, while Iranian state media claimed that a command and staff building in Bahrain had also been destroyed.

According to The Sun, Ronaldo’s aircraft departed at 8pm, flew over Egypt and across the Mediterranean, before finally arriving in Madrid.

It remains unconfirmed whether the Al Nassr captain, his partner Georgina Rodríguez, or his five children were on board the £61 million state-of-the-art jet.

Rodríguez recently used the private jet for a trip to Milan and shared images of the journey on her social media pages.

The British media outlet reached out to Ronaldo’s camp for comment on the report and the situation in the Middle East, but no response has been received yet.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s close friend and former Manchester United teammate, Rio Ferdinand, has reportedly taken cover in his Dubai basement amid the strikes from Iran.

The US has warned its citizens and foreign nationals to leave Middle Eastern countries as tensions rise over the escalating conflict.
