Nabil Saeed made the request to rescue workers in Syria in a video shared on social media last month following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria on Feb 6.More than 50,000 people have died as a result of the quake. The death toll in Syria is more than 5,900, authorities said. Saeed, wreathed in smiles, met the Portuguese forward briefly before the match, giving him a high-five and a big hug.
"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 told Reuters. Saeed cheered on Ronaldo and Al Nassr as they beat Al Batin 3-1 in Riyadh and remained two points clear at the top of the Saudi Pro League.
