CRISTIANO RONALDO risked a breach of his contract with Nike during Al-Nassr’s pre-season friendly.
The Portuguese talisman was spotted wearing Adidas shin pads under his socks despite his long-term partnership with Nike.
The 38-year-old has been signed to Nike since 2003 and is currently contracted to a £147million, 10-year deal with the Oregon based company.
He is regarded as one of their top athletes and has featured in a huge amount of advertising campaigns for the brand over the years.
Adidas are widely considered as Nike’s biggest rivals in the sportswear industry.
SunSport have contacted Ronaldo’s representatives for comment.
