10 Players Who Copied Ronaldo's Trademark Celebration
25 September, 2021
With an African star taunting Juventus with Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration this week, here are few more athletes who copied the trademark celebration, including a Kaizer Chiefs star.
The Portuguese shouted 'siuuu' at the 2014 Ballon d'Or ceremony after beating Lionel Messi to the prestigious award, although a lot of people were confused.
However, Ronaldo did the actual goal celebration in a pre-season friendly against Chelsea during Los Blancos' tour of the United States in 2013 and has used it ever since.
The celebration has now taken over the world in recent years and even made it into America's National Football League when wide-receiver doing the celebration after scoring a touchdown for the New York Giants in 2015.
Ronaldo's Manchester United teammate Jesse Lingard also recently did that celebration after scoring in England's World Cup qualifying win over Andorra earlier this month.
"Yeah, no I mean me and Mason [Mount] were thinking of celebrations this week and obviously we mixed my celebration with Cristiano’s I said I’d do it," Lingard said, as per the Sun.
"It’s a little welcoming gift [for Ronaldo] but yeah he’ll settle in quickly he’ll help this team brilliantly."
