'I was so nervous' - Ronaldo meeting left NBA star Doncic speechless

The Slovenian basketball player was left star struck after meeting the Portuguese legend in Madrid

Despite now being an NBA star in his own right, Dallas Mavericks' Luka Doncic has revealed that he was left speechless when he got to meet Cristiano Ronaldo as a teenager.

Prior to moving to Dallas, the Slovenian began his senior basketball career with Real Madrid where his love of the football club and their main star at the time was able to grow.

With Ronaldo quickly becoming his favourite football player, Doncic was able to rub shoulders with the now-Juventus attacker when Real Madrid's respective sporting teams met up over the holidays.
