When did Cristiano Ronaldo first demonstrate the 'Siu' celebration?

It was previously believed that Cristiano Ronaldo had first uttered the word 'Siu' after winning the 2014 Ballon d'Or. The word means 'Yes' in Portuguese and CR7 has since outlined his thought behind the celebration.

Speaking in June 2023, as cited by GOAL, the former Real Madrid man revealed that the action happened in the spur of the moment.

"I started to say ‘si’, it’s like ‘yes’, when I was in Real Madrid. I was in the USA and we played against Chelsea and I don’t know where this is coming from, the celebration," Ronaldo said.

He continued:

"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’. I’m like ‘wow! People are reminded of me because of it!’ So it’s good, and I’ll continue doing it like that."

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner currently plies his trade with Al-Nassr, although his contract expires this summer.
