Cristiano Ronaldo was left visibly impressed when his new Al Nassr teammate Angelo scored his first goal for the club in a 2-0 win over Al Wehda.
The winger joined the Saudi Pro League giants in the summer in a reported £19.1million move from Chelsea.
Angelo didn’t make a single senior appearance for the Blues, but now has four to his name with Al Nassr.
He started alongside Ronaldo for their clash against Al Wehda on Friday and netted his first goal with an excellent finish.
The 19-year-old ran down the right and chipped the ball from just inside the area and over goalkeeper Abdullah Al-Owaishir.

Just as he wheeled away in celebration, legendary footballer Ronaldo could be seen clapping the goal that gave them a 1-0 lead.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner was then quick to congratulate with the youngster over his incredible effort.
Angelo’s start on Friday evening was his third for Al Nassr and saw him play next to other stars such as Sadio Mane and Aymeric Laporte.
The Brazilian youngster signed for Chelsea from Santo last summer in a reported £12.95million deal.
He was sent on loan to Ligue 1 side Strasbourg for the 2023/24 season and made 25 appearances in all competitions, assisting four goals.
Angelo missed the last two months of the campaign due to injury and returned to parent club Chelsea, who sold him in September.
His move to Al Nassr is so far proving fruitful, with appearances also coming in the AFC Champions League and King’s Cup.

Ronaldo doubled Al Nassr’s lead 11 minutes into the second-half with a penalty, his sixth goal of the season in seven appearances.
It was the ex-Manchester United’s forward’s 70th goal in Al Nassr colours.
Since linking up with the Saudi side, he has featured in 77 games in all competitions, where he has shown he has not lost any of his attacking qualities.
Incredibly, he is now just 97 goals shy of reaching the landmark of 1,000 career goals.
His target for this season will be to finally end the season as a Saudi Pro League champion.
Following the victory over Al Wehda, Al Nassr sit second in the table after five matches – one point behind reigning champions Al Hilal.
