WATCH THE CLIP

The Al-Nassr admin wouldn't have struggled to find enough clips featuring the iconic celebration. Ronaldo has been flying since arriving in the Middle East in late 2022 and has, curiously, scored 38 goals in his 44 matches with Al-Nassr. The Portugal international scored a whopping 54 for club and country in 2023, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-finishes-year-world-s-top-scorer-beating-harry-kane-kylian-mbappe-54th-goal/blt4cf3355c5846a1e0" target="_blank">staking his claim as the world's top scorer for the calendar year</a>.

Those efforts were recognised at Dubai's Globe Soccer Awards last month, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/cristiano-ronaldo-lionel-messi-globe-soccer-awards-erling-haaland-jude-bellingham-pep-guardiola-aitana-bonmati/blt6e41a9fd6eca9c8f" target="_blank">with the 39-year-old picking up three gongs</a>. Ronaldo was ultimately snubbed in football's more prestigious accolades, though, drawing a blank in both <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/ballon-dor-2024-power-rankings/blt64e16da6b8170bb7" target="_blank">Ballon d'Or</a> and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/revealed-cristiano-ronaldo-did-not-cast-fifa-best-vote-portugal-pepe-snub-lionel-messi/blt2cebb09328e7152e" target="_blank">FIFA The Best</a> ceremonies.

DID YOU KNOW?

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is currently nursing an injury which saw him miss the eagerly-anticipated clash with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-lionel-messi-booed-ishowspeed-inter-miami-defeat-al-nassr-youtube-star-yelling-ronaldo-better/blt79c3feaa7a517b56" target="_blank">Lionel Messi's Inter Miami</a> last week.
