Cristiano Ronaldo was mobbed by crazed fans recently as he drove through the streets of Madrid.
The Al-Nassr forward returned to the City where he won four Champions League titles, but didn’t get much of a look around as dozens of supporters mobbed him.
In a video shared by @hoymatriculado on Instagram, Ronaldo was seen driving his £8.8million Bugatti Centodieci through the city – a car just he and nine other people worldwide own.
Video footage shared on Instagram showed the 38-year-old hopping into the driver’s seat of the French car in the Spanish capital as fans surrounded him and chanted his name.
e then slowly pulled away as those chasing him refused to give up the hopes of a photo.
Ronaldo, typically, picked up number seven of Bugatti’s 10-car Centodieci series.
He’s a loyal customer to the manufacturer, with The Sun reporting that he also owns a Bugatti Chiron and and Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse, as well as several other cars.
Reports surfaced that the former Manchester United man had managed to get his hands on the Bugatti Voiture Noire, of which there is only one version worldwide.
Ronaldo however missed out on the supercar, with it instead ending up in the possession of former Volkswagen Group chairman Ferdinand Piech.
The scenes in Spain marked the first time Ronaldo had publicly driven the car, which has 1,600 horsepower and a top speed of 240mph.
The forward seems to be finally adapting to life in Saudi Arabia after his sock exit from United last year, netting nine goals in the nine games he’s played for Al-Nassr so far.

He started life slowly, but he’s now hit form and his side are second in the Saudi Pro League, behind rivals Al-Ittihad by just one point.
Ronaldo scored twice against Lichenstein for Portugal in the most recent international break as he celebrated his 197th international cap, a world record.
He then scored twice more against Luxembourg in a 6-0 win on Sunday as Portugal continued their perfect start to their qualifying campaign for Euro 2024.
Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly purchased an ultra-rare, €9.5 million Bugatti Centodieci; a supercar that can go from 0-100 km/h in 2.4 seconds.
The Manchester United forward has a serious collection of cars. A regular customer of Bugatti vehicles, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner has purchased a Chiron, the Veyron and a La Voiture Noire – a car believed to be the most expensive ever built.
He also owns a Ferrari F430, the Phantom Rolls-Royce, a Lamborghini Aventador and the iconic Maserati GranCabrio.

The Bentley Continental GTC is another beauty in Ronaldo’s collection, not to mention the McLaren Senna; a car he bought for a reported £750,000 last year.
His other half, Georgina Rodriguez, also surprised him with a £600,000 Mercedes G Wagon for his 35th birthday but let’s be honest, the limited edition Bugatti Centodieci arguably beats them all.
It is believed only 10 units of the Centodieci will be produced and Ronaldo has bought one of them, according to German publication BILD.
In fact, all 10 have already been sold, according to reports, but they will have to wait until 2022 to get their hands on it.
The official Bugatti website gives a comprehensive lowdown on the car that has been handcrafted in Molsheim, France.
It reads: “Inspired by the historical model, the Centodieci pushes all boundaries of imagination with its breathtaking performance and pioneering design.
“Featuring a modern interpretation of the classic wedge shape and with the iconic W16 engine, the Centodieci transports the EB110 gracefully into a new millennium.
“The ten limited-edition vehicles are distinguished by their perfect elegance and sculptural beauty, making the Centodieci a true, tangible work of art.”
