Cristiano Ronaldo meets a boy who lost his father in the Turkey-Syria earthquake - WATCH

Cristiano Ronaldo recently met a survivor of the devastating earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria. Ronaldo, who was performing his duties with Al-Nassr at a weekend match in Saudi Pro League, went to meet a fan after the culmination of the match, who traveled miles to watch the Portuguese superstar play. The rescued fan was given the invitation to attend the match after a video of him surfaced on the internet about wanting to meet Cristiano Ronaldo.

Nabil Saeed, a boy from Syria, who survived the natural disaster that took more than 50,000 lives, told the rescue workers about his dream of meeting the 5-time Ballon d'Or winner. One month later, the dream has come true. The boy saw Ronaldo in action on March 4 during Al-Nassr's splendid comeback win over Al-Batin. Following the match, Ronaldo went back to the off-field area of King Saud University Stadium to meet his little supporter. 

Here's the video of the meeting.
