Cristiano Ronaldo's Celebration After Winning Saudi Title Has Over 50 Million Views

You'll be hard-pressed to find a bigger fan of soccer megastar Cristiano Ronaldo than Cristiano Ronaldo and his latest celebratory post is pretty clear proof of that.

Yesterday, Ronaldo's Al Nassr team in the Saudi Pro League claimed its first league title since he arrived in 2023. But while Al Nassr celebrated with a championship photo of the entire team that contributed, Ronaldo decided to use a different image on his page.

Taking to his X account of over 107 million followers, Ronaldo shared a photo that consistently entirely of action shots of himself with the taglines "CHAMPIONS!" and "Victory State of Mind."

The post itself has gone viral with over 52 million views in a day along with 1.3 million likes, 220,000 reposts, and 19,000 bookmarks. But the comments section of over 48,000 is where things really got interesting.

"Did you play alone?"

Just about everyone in the comments joked that Ronaldo must not have any teammates at all since he only shared images of himself.

"Bro posted himself only … no one is selfish like this man," one user remarked.

"He posted ONLY HIMSELF! Jesus Christ!" wrote another.

"Does he not have teammates?" a third wrote.

"Looks like it was a real team effort from that graphic."

"If he loses, it's a team picture. If he wins, it's suddenly a photoshoot of himself alone, most selfish man in football."

"Ronaldo's management team posted this a minute after the FT whistle. Intentional placement."

Ronaldo joined Al Nassr on what was at the time the largest contract in history - a two-year deal worth over $530 million. He followed that up in 2025 by signing a two-year extension worth another $710 million, breaking his own record.

In four years with the team, he has won one league title and one domestic cup tournament, scoring 129 goals in 148 appearances for Al Nassr.
