Host: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, girls and boys. Thank you for being here with us at Expo, at the heart of the Expo, Al Wasl Plaza. It is my absolute pleasure to be here with all of you and with one of the greatest footballers in the world.

Cristiano, welcome to Dubai, welcome to Expo, welcome to Al Wasl Plaza. Thank you. Cristiano, people have been waiting for you. They are so excited.

Around us here physically, and virtually on virtual Expo, they're waiting not only to see you but also to hear from you. So are we ready to hear from Cristiano? So please have a seat, Cristiano, and we're gonna start our conversation.

So let's start. Cristiano. Cristiano Ronaldo: They're not gonna listen, eh? Host: So can we start with the first question?

Cristiano, you've been in Dubai for some time. How do you like Dubai? What are some of your thoughts?

Cristiano Ronaldo: Well, first of all, I have to say thank you to all of them to coming here. I didn't expect that will be so many people, but thank you. But Dubai, as you as people know, I love Dubai because they treat me unbelievable.

I love the people, I love the culture, and I coming here every year. So it's nice. It's nice to be here, and I have to say thank you to all of them.

Host: And we welcome you to Dubai all the time, and Dubai, as I said, loves you so much, as you can see from your fans here. So my question, my second question is, before we came up on this beautiful stage to welcome everybody, we went around the Expo site. Was there anything about what you saw that made an impression on you when we went around?

Cristiano Ronaldo: Of course, yes. I think Dubai, they do unbelievable work to make all these countries together, 192 different cultures, different mentalities, so it's great. I think it don't surprise me, to be honest, because Dubai, they always bring something in a table unique, different, and is spectacular, so it doesn't surprise me.
