Despite his absence from the game as he serves a two-game compulsory ban, some fans could not help but express excitement after acquiring the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Videos seen by Sports Brief showed several fans storm the pitch, but it was not to meet any player in particular on the day.

Instead, the fans did their best impression of Ronaldo’s iconic celebration before engaging the stewards in a brief cat and mouse.

“Siiu”

Ronaldo coined the iconc ‘Siiu’ celebration from his Real Madrid days.

Since leaving Spain, he has continued to use the same celebration after scoring crucial goals, and fans have become all too familiar with his trademark way of making his strikes.

During his unveiling as a Al Nassr player, several journalists could be heard chanting ‘Siu’ at the forward.
