Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo's new celebration is already a massive hit in the football community, with several players imitating it across various leagues. Considering the 37-year-old's enormous popularity worldwide, there seemed little doubt that the Portuguese international's latest celebration would catch the eye of fans around the world.

As seen in the post below, 16-year-old Brazilian wonder kid Endrick Felipe Moreira de Sousa imitated Cristiano Ronaldo's new celebration after he helped Palmeiras win the Brazilian Serie A title with three games to spare. The Portuguese international, whose celebration has now become a massive hit, first performed it after scoring his 700th club goal against Everton at Goodison Park.

Cristiano Ronaldo's new celebration explained

After Cristiano Ronaldo performed his new nap celebration instead of the usual siuuuu celebration, Manchester United took to their club website and provided the reasoning for the same. "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," wrote the Red Devils.

Manchester United's explanation for Ronaldo's new celebration hilariously added, "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."

Cristiano Ronaldo's staggering career stats

With over 700 club goals across all competitions at four different clubs, it is fair to say that Cristiano Ronaldo has established himself as one of the top stars of all time in the history of football. Following the Portuguese international's 700th club goal against Everton a few weeks ago, here is a look at how his goal tally looks across all the clubs he has played at and all the competitions he has played in:
