New footage has emerged of Cristiano Ronaldo celebrating in style after scoring for the second time in a week. 

Ronaldo got Al-Nassr’s opener in their 2-1 win over Al Fateh with a powerful strike into the bottom corner following a cross from Sultan Al-Ghannam inside 17 minutes. 

The Portuguese star then ran to the corner and produced his iconic Siu celebration having ditched it during midweek. 

It was his second goal in the week after scoring the only goal in Al-Nassr’s win over Al Feiha in the Asian Champions League on Wednesday.

Ronaldo’s celebrations on Saturday didn’t last long as Al Fateh equalised just before the half hour mark through Salem Al-Najdi before Otavio’s 72nd minute winner. 

Ronaldo’s strike ensured he overtook long-time rival Lionel Messi on non-penalty goals score. 

The 39-year-old now boasts 715 goals excluding penalties compared to Messi’s 714.  

Due to the Asian Cup, there had been no competitive club action for Al-Nassr and the win over Al Fateh was their first league match since December. 

The Saudi side made a visit to China during the extended break, but Ronaldo wasn’t able to play.

The injury left him cheering from the stands as Al-Nassr crushed Messi’s Inter Miami 6-0.

Last weekend, Ronaldo stormed off the pitch after watching Al-Hilal’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic win the MVP award at the Riyadh Cup final.

Al-Nassr lost the Riyadh Seasons Cup final 2-0, and Ronaldo launched his runners-up medal high into the stands at the end of the game.
