The Brazilian sent supporters into a frenzy as he leapt into the stands after putting Real 3-2 up against Celta Vigo on Sunday.
Finding the net on 54 minutes, the forward thumped the club crest on his chest before diving into the crowd at the newly-refurbished Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Such was the madness among the Bernabeu faithful that police had to wade in to extract the player so the match could resume.
Ref Sanchez Martinez waited patiently for the star to return to the pitch before showing him a yellow card for the celebration.
Real eventually swept aside Celta with a 5-2 victory in their first match back at the Bernabeu in 560 days.
