Cristiano Ronaldo brought back his iconic celebration after scoring his first Saudi Pro League goal of 2024.
Ronaldo got Al-Nassr‘s opener at home to Al Fateh with a powerful strike into the bottom corner inside 17 minutes following a cross from Sultan Al-Ghannam.
The Portuguese star then ran to the corner and produced his iconic Siu celebration having ditched it during midweek.
After scoring in the midweek Asian Champions League win over Al Feiha, Ronaldo jumped before putting his hands across his chest, in a different celebration.
Al-Nassr’s celebrations didn’t last long though as Al Fateh equalised just before the half hour mark through Salem Al-Najdi.

But Otavio’s 72nd minute winner ensured Ronaldo’s side claimed all three points in a 2-1 win.
Due to the Asian Cup, there had been no competitive club action for Al-Nassr and Saturday’s league match was their first since December.
The Saudi side made a visit to China during the extended break, but Ronaldo wasn’t able to play.
The injury left him cheering from the stands as Al-Nassr crushed Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami 6-0.
Last weekend, Ronaldo stormed off the pitch after watching Al-Hilal’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic win the MVP award at the Riyadh Cup final.
Al-Nassr lost the Riyadh Seasons Cup final 2-0, and Ronaldo launched his runners-up medal high into the stands at the end of the game.
