Story behind Cristiano Ronaldo famous goal celebration

Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo is once again in the headlines after his air jordan goal against Sampdoria giving Juventus all 3 points.

Ronaldo leaped off the ground,suspended in the air before powering the cross into the back of the net. Then ran to do his trademark goal celebration called “siuuu”.

The “siuuu” by CR7 has become one of the most popular goal celebrations in the football world,many footballers now copy it. All fans easily recognize the goal celebration by Cristiano Ronaldo. In which he performs a mid-air pirouette before exclaiming “si!” – which is Spanish for “yes!” – upon landing. 

Speaking about how he started the siuuu in an exclusive interview with DAZN that will be released in full on December 26th. The Juventus star and 5-time Ballon D’or winner said:

“I started saying it when I was at Real Madrid,” “When we all won, they, said ‘siiii!’. I started saying it, I don’t know why. It came naturally to me. 

“I remember the preseason in Los Angeles. We played against Chelsea, I scored a goal and I did this (mimics the celebration).

“People asked me: ‘why did you do it?’ I don’t know. I did it, I turned around, but naturally, because I always say that the best things happen in a natural way.”

“The scream? The players know I always do that shout when I score a goal or when we win,” Ronaldo said.
