Previously, Cristiano Ronaldo's former Juventus teammate and Turkish international footballer, Merih Demiral, auctioned the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's signed Juventus jersey to raise funds for those affected by the unfortunate natural disaster.

The Al-Nassr superstar has always been known for his generosity. He once donated around $83,000 for the surgery of a child.

Since his move to Al-Nassr as a free agent, Cristiano Ronaldo has managed to regain his form. The Portuguese superstar scored eight goals and provided two assists during the month of February and was named the Saudi Pro League (SPL)'s player of the month.

He has scored two hat-tricks for the Middle Eastern club as well. After his most recent three-goal haul against Damac, Ronaldo explained the reason behind finding his scoring boots back. He told SSC after the match:

"I feel more adapted to the team. It's not easy to come and in five, six, or seven games; everyone knows my movements. But I'm starting to understand their movements, and they are starting to understand my movements. Step by step, we can reach the big level."

The 38-year-old further added:

"I'm very happy, but the most important (thing) is the team. The team did a fantastic job (against Damac); they ran; they fought. For me, the goals are important, but the most important thing is the team."

Al-Nassr are currently atop the SPL table with 46 point from 19 matches. They hold a two-point lead over second-placed Al-Ittihad. Cristiano Ronaldo and co. will return to action on March 8 in a top-of-the-table showdown against Al-Ittihad.
