In their latest outing in the Saudi Pro League (SPL), Al-Nassr, one of the biggest clubs in the Middle East, registered a dominant 5-1 win over Al-Fateh at the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh on Saturday night, October 18. Joao Felix netted a hat-trick while Cristiano Ronaldo and Kingsley Coman also managed to put their name on the scoresheet, to ensure Al-Nassr stayed on top of the SPL points table with five victories in first five matches of the competition.
Following a breathtaking performance from Al-Nassr in the attacking front, putting five past their AL-Fateh and conceding just once to Sofiane Bendebka in the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted leading their well known Viking clap celebration but with a big twist. Famed YouTuber and Twitch streamer IShowSpeed, who was in attendance at the stadium, caught the eye of Cristiano Ronaldo before the latter gestured him to play the drum nearby in a rhythm to celebrate their win in style.

When Speed managed to understand the instructions of Ronaldo clearly, he proceeded to play the drum like he was asked before the Portuguese footballing superstar got the fans inside the stadium to clap with him. This continued for the better part of 30 seconds before the 40-year-old ran towards the goal and gave a fist pump, which was welcomed with open arms by the Al-Nassr faithful.

Later in the night, Cristiano Ronaldo shared the video in an Instagram story of IShowSpeed and himself doing the Viking clap celebration of Al-Nassr in unison. He captioned the story, “I see you, @ishowspeed”, followed by a glancing pair of eyes emoji before it was revealed that the veteran had followed back the social media sensation on the Instagram platform.
During his live stream after enjoying the Al-Nassr win in the stadium, he said, “I might want to meet him off-stream. I think I'll stream, chat. I ain't going to lie. I want to talk to him. Serious. For a reason, chat. Chat, I can meet him, but I don't want to meet him on stream. I'm going to be honest.”
