Cristiano Ronaldo watched part of Al Nassr's 2-0 victory over Al Ta'ee while on an exercise bike in the club dressing room.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner didn't make his debut on Friday as he's serving a ban he received at Manchester United.

Ronaldo was inside Mrsool Park for the game, originally scheduled for Thursday, before adverse weather conditions impacted the stadium's electricity.

He watched the first half in a VIP box but fancied a quick workout after the break. Anderson Talisca scored a goal in each half to secure the win, with Ronaldo particularly enjoying his second. Check it out below.

It ended up being quite a straightforward goal for Talisca, who is the Saudi Pro League's top scorer with 11 goals this season.

David Ospina hoofed the ball up for the 28-year-old, who only needed to take two touches to get into the Al Ta'ee box.

He evaded the defender's challenge before slotting past the goalkeeper with ease.

Watching in the dressing room, with his shirt off for some reason, Ronaldo clapped the finish as others around him jumped up and down.

The video on Al Nassr's official Twitter page has an astonishing 121,000 likes and 4.9 million views since being posted.

If you thought Ronaldo fever was close to dying down in Saudi Arabia, we've got news for you.

Al Nassr are now four points clear at the top of the league ahead of Al Shabab. They've got a game in hand so could reduce that margin to one point, although Ronaldo's eventual debut will likely see Al Nassr comfortably win the title.

The 37-year-old scored 24 goals in all competitions for United last season, although that tally sat at three this term prior to his exit in November.

Ronaldo declared on Tuesday that his career in Europe is 'over' after achieving everything he set out to do across a 20-year period.

He also claimed several clubs made proposals in the continent, as well as in Australia and South America.

"For me, this is a great opportunity not only in football but also to change the mentality of the new generation," he told reporters at his unveiling.

"As nobody know but I can say now, I had many opportunities in Europe, many clubs in Brazil, in Australia, in USA and even in Portugal.

"Many clubs tried to sign me but I gave the word to this club for the opportunity to develop not only the football but the other part of this amazing country.

"And for me this is a good challenge. I know what I want, and I know of course what I don’t want as well, so for me it’s a good chance to change [and] to help with my knowledge and my experience."
