Vinicius Junior thrilled fans in Saudi Arabia on Sunday by performing Cristiano Ronaldo's famous 'SIU' goal celebration inside Al Nassr's King Saud University Stadium.

The Brazilian hit the 'SIU' after firing Real Madrid 1-0 up six minutes into the Supercopa de Espana final against Barcelona.

Vinicius raced on a through pass from Jude Bellingham before dribbling around Barca keeper Inaki Pena and shooting into the net from eight yards.

This was his first goal since November when he suffered a hamstring injury.

Vinicius scored again to make it 2-0 less than than three minutes later with a slick sliding finish after fellow Brazilian Rodrygo had exposed Barca's high defensive line.

Barca hit back in the 33rd minute when Robert Lewandowski netted his second goal in four days.

But Vinicius restored Madrid's two goal lead with a penalty kick in the 39th minute.

Spain's four-team Super Cup tournament is being held in Saudi Arabia for the third year in a row.
