What does Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘Siuuu’ celebration mean?
The Portugal international has deployed an array of celebrations over the years, but one in particular has come to define his goalscoring exploits. Football’s goal celebrations come in all shapes and most players have their unique expression of joy.
Jurgen Klinsmann famously poked fun at his depiction as a diver in the press by performing a dive after scoring, while Paul Pogba has several different dance routines.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest goalscorers of all time, so has had plenty of opportunities to work at his celebrations, and he has settled upon a select few moves, but the most famous is his “siuuu” one. Ronaldo’s trademark goal celebration sees him perform a mid-air pirouette before exclaiming “si!” (sometimes spelled “siu”) – which is Spanish for “yes!” – upon landing. It is an expression of delight at scoring.

After Ronaldo jumps and lands, supporters normally join the forward in roaring the words, producing a booming sound that reverberates throughout the stadium. The ‘siu!’ celebration has become synonymous with Ronaldo in the later part of his career and he first began performing it when he was at Real Madrid. He famously screamed “Siuuu!” on stage at the 2014 Ballon d’Or ceremony after collecting the award ahead of perennial rival Lionel Messi, prompting a mixed response, with many left bewildered by the outburst.
NOW Its SIUUU!! all over the world.
