Cristiano Ronaldo shared a viral post-match celebration with YouTuber IShowSpeed after Al Nassr’s 5–1 victory over Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League, delighting fans as he showed the streamer how to drum along during the team’s signature Viking clap.

Ronaldo, who reached the 800-goal milestone of his club career during the match, led Al Nassr’s players in celebration as IShowSpeed joined in.

Standing beside the Portuguese forward, Speed followed Ronaldo’s lead as he demonstrated how to drum in rhythm with the team’s chant.

IShowSpeed’s admiration for Ronaldo has long been a running theme in his content, and this meeting represented a long-awaited dream come true.

In an emotional turn, fans later discovered that Ronaldo followed Speed on Instagram after the match and even shared a photo of him on his story, signalling mutual respect between the star and his devoted fan.

Earlier in the day, a separate clip showing Speed calling out “Ronaldo, remember me?” appeared to show the player walking past without notice, sparking debate online. However, the drum celebration and social media follow-up brought the story full circle, with supporters praising Ronaldo’s gesture as a moment of kindness and connection.
