Vinicius Junior Performs Cristiano Ronaldo's 'SIU' Celebration After Scoring For Real Madrid Against Barcelona At Al Nassr Stadium

Vinicius Junior thrilled fans in Saudi Arabia on Sunday by performing Cristiano Ronaldo's famous 'SIU' goal celebration inside Al Nassr's King Saud University Stadium.

The Brazilian hit the 'SIU' after firing Real Madrid 1-0 up six minutes into the Supercopa de Espana final against Barcelona.

Vinicius raced onto a through pass from Jude Bellingham before dribbling around Barca keeper Inaki Pena and shooting into the net from eight yards.

This was his first goal since November when he suffered a hamstring injury.

Vinicius scored again to make it 2-0 less than three minutes later with a slick sliding finish after fellow Brazilian Rodrygo had exposed Barca's high defensive line.

Barca hit back in the 33rd minute when Robert Lewandowski netted his second goal in four days with a rocket volley from 20 yards.

But Vinicius restored Madrid's two-goal lead with a penalty kick to complete a historic hat-trick in the 39th minute.

Vinicius marked his hat-trick goal by imitating another of Ronaldo's iconic routines - the 'I'm Here' celebration.

Madrid went on to win the game 4-1 after Rodrygo completed the scoring, shortly before Ronald Araujo was sent off for two bookable offenses.
