In soccer, the celebration is still prominent even after a decade. Ronaldo still pulls out this celebration here and there while scoring for Al-Nassr. Meanwhile, Alejandro Garncho celebrated his wonder goal with the ‘SIUUU’ to attach the celebration with one of the best Premier League goals in recent memory.
The celebration is here to stay, as evident in the recently concluded Under 17 FIFA World Cup. German players celebrated with ‘SIUUU’ while wearing their winning medals to show evidence that the newer generation of soccer stars still found the iconic celebration trendy and mainstream.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s SIUU celebration turns 10 years old
All these homages to the celebration are noteworthy but this current one at the top of an active volcano should be at the top. Cristiano Ronaldo should acknowledge the daring effort of his superfan to motivate more fans to push the envelope with the celebration.
The effort on top of the volcano is the cherry on the cake for the celebration that completes 10 years in 2023. Ronaldo introduced the celebration back in August 2013 while playing for Real Madrid. The celebration was introduced against Chelsea in the USA in a pre-season friendly when the Madrid club was managed by José Mourinho.
