Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus legend Cristiano Ronaldo has given insights into the meaning and origin of his famous ‘Siuu’ goal celebration.
The ‘siuu’ is one of the most iconic celebrations in football history.
The Portugal captain , who now plays for Al Nassr, shed light on the ‘Siuu’ celebration. The word ‘siuu’ actually means ‘yes’ in his native language, Portuguese.
Speaking with LiveScore, Ronaldo revealed that he is always happy to see other players imitate his famous goal celebration.
“It seems to have grown into its own global phenomenon – and I love when I see other players doing it, or people send me videos of people in other sports doing it or little kids doing it – it’s great. It means – yes – very simple but meaning it strongly!
“I started to say ‘si’, it’s like ‘yes’, when I was in Real Madrid. I was in the USA and we played against Chelsea and I don’t know where this is coming from, the celebration.
“I just scored the goal and it just came out. It was just natural, to be honest. Since that, I started to do it more often and I feel like the supporters and the fans see it and they’re like ‘Cristiano, siiiiiiuuuu.’”
He concluded by saying that he will continue to carry on the famous goal celebration when he scores.
“I’m like, ‘Wow! People are reminded of me because of it!’ So, it’s good, and I’ll continue doing it like that.”
