The Manchester United legend scored the winner against Al Feiha and showed off his new celebration.
Instead of spinning in mid air, Ronaldo leaped up and clutched his chest with both hands.
It was his first goal of the new year for Al Nassr and one fan said: “The GOAT is back!!”
Another joked: “Babe new Ronaldo celebration just dropped.”
Ronaldo’s signature celebration has become a viral hit in recent years, transcending just football.
From school playgrounds to courts at the Australian Open, kids and athletes alike have been mimicking the Portuguese icon.
And in 2019, while playing for Juventus Ronaldo opened up on the origins behind the celebration.
He said: “I started to say ‘si’, it’s like ‘yes’, when I was in Real Madrid.

“When we would win, everyone would say ‘siiiii’ and so I started to say it. I don’t know why, it was natural.
“I was in the USA and we played against Chelsea and I don’t know where this is coming from, the celebration.
“I just scored the goal and it just came out. It was just natural, to be honest.
“Since that, I started to do it more often and I feel like the supporters and the fans see it and they’re like ‘Cristiano, siiiiiiuuuu’.
“I’m like ‘wow! People are reminded of me because of it!’ So it’s good, and I’ll continue doing it like that.”
