Cristiano Ronaldo, at 38 years of age, currently plays for Al-Nassr with a market value of £13 million according to Transfermarkt. Among his various celebratory gestures over the years, none are more iconic than his SIU celebration.

In this signature move, the Portuguese football legend leaps into the air, flinging his arms backward and letting out an enthusiastic “Siuuuuuuuuuu!”

Reflecting on the origin of this celebration in 2019, Ronaldo explained, “I began saying ‘si,’ which means ‘yes,’ during my time at Real Madrid. Whenever we won, the whole team would chant ‘siiiii,’ and I just started saying it too.

It felt natural, almost instinctive. Then, during a match against Chelsea in the USA, I scored a goal, and this celebration just burst out of me—it was entirely spontaneous.

Since then, I’ve incorporated it more frequently into my celebrations, and it’s incredible how the supporters and fans have embraced it. They chant ‘Cristiano, siiiiiiuuuu,’ and it’s a remarkable connection with them.

I’m thrilled that it’s become such a memorable part of my identity, and I plan to keep doing it just the way I always have.” With a perfect rating of 10/10 for this celebration, Cristiano Ronaldo’s SIU moment is undeniably legendary.
