Cristiano Ronaldo debuted a new celebration as Al Nassr completed a 5-0 drubbing of Al Najma SC. The Portuguese legend netted a penalty early in the game to put the game in control for the visitors. While Ronaldo scoring is not a surprise given has 965 of them, what followed was an unusual sight for the fans.

Ronaldo in his celebration did take a leap as he does, but instead of the SIUU, performed a slam dunk, unlocking a new style. The change in celebration soon went viral on social media.
