CRISTIANO RONALDO left fans baffled with his new and unprecedented ‘combined’ celebration.
The Portugal superstar captained his country in their thrashing of Luxembourg in Euro 2024 qualifying.
The 38-year-old got the 2016 champions off to a perfect start, breaking the deadlock after nine minutes.
Chelsea loanee Joao Felix and Manchester City ace Bernardo Silva had made it 3-0 by 18 minutes before Ronaldo grabbed his second and Portugal’s fourth just after the half-hour mark.
Otavio and Rafael Leao completed the 6-0 mauling late on.
But it was after CR7’s early opener that he caught the attention of viewers watching on in his record-extending 198th cap.

Ronaldo raced away towards the corner as usual before taking off with his trademark ‘siuuu’ jump and spin.
But rather than landing with his arms straight down by his sides, he mixed it up.
Instead, he went straight into his other celebration, crossing his hands across his chest – a slight variation on the interlocking fingers.
And a few fans were loving the radical shake-up.

Later on in the game, the Al-Nassr forward appeared delighted as a fan – wearing a shirt for the Saudi club – mobbed him on the pitch.
The invader burst on to the field and was desperate to get close to his idol, who responded with a wink and a thumb up.
