If you are a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo or content creators, it's no secret that one of the biggest YouTube and streaming stars is a massive fan of the Portuguese forward. With over 40 million subscribers on YouTube, iShowSpeed is obsessed with Ronaldo.

He wears shirts from former teams of Ronaldo, including Real Madrid, and also attends games when he can. Real name Darren Watkins Jr., he was in attendance at the Al-Nassr vs Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League.

The 40-year-old scored to put his team back in front as the Knights of Najd went on to win 5-1. It kept them at the top of the standings and still unbeaten in the league this season. After the game, Ronaldo clocked iShowSpeed in the stands and got him to join in with the Al-Nassr tradition after the victory.

After Al-Nassr's games at their home stadium of Al-Awwal Park, a win is celebrated with a tradition. That is for the players to head over to the home stand behind the goal and applaud the fans.

The Nassrawis also have a huge drum, which they bang during the game and after. Ronaldo instructed iShowSpeed on how to use the drum, and the YouTuber fulfilled his commands. As he hit the drum, the players copied the beat with a clap, made famous by the Icelandic football team back in the 2016 European Championship.

Cristiano Ronaldo's fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez, commented on the image shared by the Al-Nassr forward. She had a one-word response to the iconic clip, saying "Grandes!". It translates to great, something that many will agree with.

"Success is not an accident."

It's a strong start to the season for Ronaldo and Al-Nassr. He is yet to win the Saudi Pro League, and it's a trophy he will desire. The club has brought in some big names this season to help him achieve that, with Joao Felix and Kingsley Coman two of those. They both were on the scoresheet in the previous game, with the former scoring a hat-trick. Can Ronaldo add the trophy to his cabinet this season?
