While Cristiano Ronaldo is no longer the best player to use in FIFA games, his goal celebrations mean he remains a strong drawcard.

The Portugal superstar is no stranger to finding the back of the net, both in real life and the video-game world. 

Ronaldo's 'Siu' celebration has become iconic with current players emulating it and crowds often joining in on the act.

But the Portugal legend has recently mixed things up with a new move first used at Manchester United and currently being used on occasion at Al Nassr.

Ronaldo's new Al Nassr goal celebration in FIFA 23

Ronaldo's new goal celebration involves the attacker leaning back, putting his hands together on his chest, closing his eyes and looking up to the sky. 

It was added to FIFA 23 on March 23, 2023 and can only be performed while using Ronaldo. As a signature celebration, it can be triggered by holding X on PlayStation or holding A on Xbox.

Dubbed by some as the 'nap', Manchester United have previously explained the celebration as a reference to Ronaldo's sleeping position while travelling with the team. 

"We can now reveal that Ronaldo's celebration was a self-deprecating in-joke with his fellow team-mates, highlighting the strong bonds among the players in Erik ten Hag's squad," an explanation on the club's website read. 

"Of course, Cristiano is renowned for looking after himself and ensuring he is always in the best possible condition, which naturally involves hours of hard work on the training pitch and in the gym. It also includes resting at the right moments and ensuring he has enough sleep to aid his recovery: it has previously been reported that Ronaldo naps several times a day!

"CR7's celebration at Everton was amusingly a nod to the position in which he sleeps when travelling with the squad, which hasn't gone unnoticed by his team-mates who are all eager to learn from him."
