Vini Jr, who wears the number seven at Madrid, the number made famous by Ronaldo, scored in the seventh minute of the game to give Carlo Ancelotti’s men the lead.

The Brazilian star beat Barca’s offside trap to run onto a Jude Bellingham pass and easily went past Inaki Pena in Barcelona’s goal to score.

He then ran toward the corner flag before doing Ronaldo’s Siuuu celebration.

The crowd at the Al-Awwal Park, the home ground of Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, joined in the celebration as they all broke out into chants of Siuuu.

Vini’s celebration was more fitting as the Portuguese superstar who made it famous was in attendance to watch his former side.

He was given more reason to smile three minutes later as Vini doubled the lead for Los Blancos.

Fellow Brazilian Rodrygo burst through Barca’s defence before squaring the ball across the box for Vini to slide it into the back of the net. After a less flashy celebration for his second goal, the Brazilian again broke out the Siuuu.

The Brazilian wasn't done there either, as he slotted home a penalty in the 38th minute of the game to complete his hat-trick and give Madrid a 3-1 lead at the halftime break.

Crowds chant for Cristiano Ronaldo

Sports Brief also reported on how Cristiano Ronaldo had the ability to make headlines even when he wasn't playing a game.

Fans chanted the Portuguese star's name before and during the El Clasico encounter in the Supercopa de Espana final in Saudi Arabia.

Supporters also broke out the Siuuu in the seventh minute of the encounter as they joined along with Vini Junior's celebration.
