Cristiano Ronaldo has risked a breach of contract with Nike after appearing to wear Adidas shin pads.
The 38-year-old marked his first pre-season appearance as Al Nassr wear thumped 5-0 by LaLiga side Celta Vigo on Monday.
Ronaldo played the first 45 minutes and watched the second half, where all five goals were scored, from the stands.
However, the Portuguese star produced controversy as he appeared to use Adidas shin pads while under contract with their rivals Nike.
Ronaldo has been contracted to Nike since the early stages of his career in 2003 and is on a £147million, 10-year deal with the American giants.
He is one of Nike's biggest athletes and has appeared in multiple TV adverts promoting the brand's boots.
Ronaldo's usually sports personalised shin pads, having appeared to have a picture of his face next to the crest of the Portugal national team during his second spell with Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo's Al Nassr announced earlier this month that Nike will be their new kit manufacturer.
The Saudi Arabian club previously had their kits made by Nike between 1997 and 2001 and, in a second stint, 2010 and 2012.
The change might not mark a huge visual departure from their current kit design, as their current manufacturer, Arabic giants Duneus, took direct inspiration from the Nike style.
Fans will have their first chance to see the strip in action when the Riyadh-based outfit test themselves against PSG and Inter Milan in a tour of Japan next week.
