What does Ronaldo say when he celebrates?- The origins of ‘Siuu

Cristiano Ronaldo says ‘Siuu‘ when he celebrates a goal. The word roughly translates to ‘Yes’ in Spanish, which is a common way of celebrating in that part of the world. He actually revealed when the celebration actually came into being, and it was during a game for Real Madrid vs Chelsae. He said in an interview:

“When we would win, everyone would say ‘siiiii’ and so I started to say it. I don’t know why, it was natural. In 2013, I scored a goal against Chelsea, and this siuu celebration just started from nowhere. I just scored the goal and it just came out. It was just natural, to be honest. Since that, I started to do it more often and I feel like the supporters and the fans see it and they’re like ‘Cristiano, siiiiiiuuuu”
