A sight to behold in and of itself is the superstar forward leaping into the air, turning 180 degrees, and shouting “Siuuu!” as he lands with his arms extended. When Ronaldo leaps and lands, the crowd typically joins him in yelling the word, creating a thunderous sound that reverberates throughout the entire stadium.
However, Ronaldo didn’t perform the celebration during his early years at Manchester United. The celebration became familiar during the later part of his career at Real Madrid.
Back in 2014, when he received the Ballon d’Or award before steadfast rival Lionel Messi, and after accepting it, he famously yelled “siiiiiiuu!” on stage. The outburst drew a mixed reaction from the audience, with many people confused by it.
When being asked about the reason for the celebration once, he stated in an interview, “I started to say ‘si’, it’s like ‘yes’, when I was in Real Madrid.”
He mentioned that in 2013 he had been in the USA playing against Chelsea and after scoring a goal, the celebration spontaneously emerged and felt completely natural.
He further shared that he began to incorporate the celebration more frequently since then, and he noticed that supporters and fans would react to it by exclaiming “Cristiano, siiiiiiuuuu.”
