Cristiano Ronaldo debuted a new celebration in Al Nassr's 4-0 win over Al Wasl in the AFC Champions League - and it's got fans talking.
The 39-year-old scored a brace in the victory, which was also notable for the debut of Jhon Duran after he joined Al Nassr from Aston Villa for a fee of around £75 million earlier in the week.
His first goal was a penalty into the bottom left corner to make it 2-0, with his second goal a trademark powerful header from close range to make it 3-0.
Before the match, Ronaldo told Spanish outlet El Chiringuito that he is the 'most complete' player in football history, stating: "I'm talking about numbers. I think I'm the most complete player to have existed.

"In my opinion, I think it's me. I do everything well in football: with my head, free kicks, left foot. I'm fast, I'm strong.
"If you like Messi, Pele, Maradona, I understand that and I respect that. But saying Ronaldo isn't complete... I'm the most complete."
But Ronaldo's celebration was another major talking point among fans after the match.
While he celebrated his penalty with his trademark 'Sui', his second celebration was somewhat different.

After being flanked his by team-mates, Ronaldo instead moved his right arm in an upward motion before appearing to 'shoot' it crashing into the ground.
And fans reacted to the new celebration on social media.
One wrote: "Cristiano Ronaldo flying into scoring this header and gave us a new celebration style, he's HIM."

A second said: "That Ronaldo header and new celebration..."
A third asked: "What's the meaning?"
And a fourth claimed: "GOAT for a reason."
Ronaldo - who will by then have celebrated his 40th birthday - and Al Nassr are next in action on Friday evening when they take on Al Feiha in the Saudi Pro League.
