WATCH: Cristiano Ronaldo dedicates goal to his son, debuts new celebration style

After Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty in Al-Nassr's 3-0 Saudi Pro League victory over Al-Ettifaq, he gave up his signature "SIUU" celebration in favour of a thoughtful gesture for his kid. Due to an illness, Cristiano Ronaldo missed Al-Nassr's last game, but he helped his team win again by converting a spot-kick in the first half. The Riyadh-based team also scored goals from Anderson Talisca and Salem Al-Najdi, helping new coach Stefano Pioli start his tenure with a win.

After scoring against Al-Ettifaq, Cristiano Ronaldo invented a unique celebration, raising three fingers and gesturing to his kid. Although the celebration may have baffled a lot of people. Cristiano motioned with three fingers to his son Cristiano Jr., indicating that the two of them had scored a brace for Al Nassr's junior squad earlier in the day, making it a hat-trick of goals in one day.

Cristiano Ronaldo, 39, has been in incredible form and scored his seventh goal for club and country since the 2024–25 season began. Despite Al-Nassr's fourth-place finish in the Saudi Pro League following a disappointing start that resulted in Luis Castro's dismissal, he has also recorded two assists. Stefano Pioli, a former coach of AC Milan, was named the team's new coach, and he started working with them.  

Cristiano Ronaldo dedicated this win to fan

After finishing in second place the previous two seasons, he will be expected to assist Al Nassr in their quest for the league championship. In a message to the supporters, Cristiano Ronaldo expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance and said he would want to dedicate the win to the Al Nassr supporters. Next up for Ronaldo and Al Nassr is a King Cup of Champions Round of 32 match on Monday, September 23, against Al Hazm. The Riyadh-based squad is in a hectic phase as they have three games in the next ten days.

They will play Al-Wehda on Friday and then host Al Rayyan in the AFC Champions League matchday two. In the second half, Al Nassr maintained its lead, scoring its second goal in the 56th minute. The second goal was scored by Al-Najdi, who skillfully dinked the ball past Ettifaq goalie Marek Rodak from a tight angle after Sadio Mane supplied a great through pass. After the victory, Ettifaq maintains third position with nine points from as many games, while Al Nassr drops to fourth place with eight points from four games.
