VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo opens his account for 2024! CR7 bags cute winner in Al-Fayha AFC Champions League clash & drops brand new celebration

Ronaldo combined with team-mate Marcelo Brozovic to find space in the penalty box and clinically finished to fire his team to a slender victory at the Prince Faisal Bin Fahad stadium on Wednesday evening. It was a cagey affair in the first half but the Portuguese forward broke the deadlock in the 81st minute to secure a crucial first-leg victory for Al-Nassr.

What caught the attention of fans was Ronaldo's new celebration. Instead of his iconic "SIUUU" move, he opted for a different gesture, crossing his hands over his chest and closing his eyes after his usual jump in jubilation. It was fairly similar to the 'nap' celebration that he introduced during his second spell at Manchester United.

Ronaldo made headlines for his reaction to Al-Nassr's defeat in the Riyadh Seasons Cup final, where he expressed frustration by launching his runners-up medal into the stands. However, after today's victory, Ronaldo was spotted in a jovial mood participating in the Viking clap celebration with the fans. He will next be in action against Al-Fateh in the Saudi Pro League on February 17 before facing Al-Fayha again in the second leg at home on February 21.
