Commemorating his passion for the video game franchise, EA Sports have added his signature celebration to FIFA 23.

This is the first entry on this list that isn't particularly inspired by any real-life occurrences or celebrations.

To perform this celebration, hold R1 on PlayStation or RB on Xbox and spin the right stick counterclockwise after scoring a goal.
