With that in mind, we’ll attempt to understand the meaning and origin of Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic celebration in this piece.
The origin and meaning of Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘siuuu’ celebration
Many fans would have witnessed this iconic celebration throughout Cristiano Ronaldo’s time at Juventus and Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo returned to his previous club Manchester United during the 2021-2022 season. United supporters took his celebration to a whole new level.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored 24 goals for the struggling Manchester United side last season, and fans witnessed this iconic celebration during certain crucial games, with the entire stadium celebrating with ‘siuuu’ whenever the Portuguese scores. However, it is not the recent times, that Cristiano Ronaldo has celebrated his goals with this iconic celebration.
It was during the 2013 season-friendly game against Chelsea when this iconic celebration originated. When asked about his celebration, Cristiano Ronaldo revealed in 2019 and said – “I started to say ‘si’, it’s like ‘yes’, when I was in Real Madrid.
When we won, everyone would say’siiiii,’ so I started saying it. I’m not sure why; it seemed natural.
“I was in the United States when we played Chelsea, and I’m not sure where this celebration is coming from.
“I simply scored the goal and it just came out,” he said. To be honest, it was completely natural. So, I started to do it more often and I feel like the supporters and the fans notice it and they’re like ‘Cristiano, siuuu’.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic ‘siuuu’ celebration has not only been witnessed in the football world but also in other major sports throughout the world as well.
