Chelsea vs Real Madrid: Rodrygo Hits Ronaldo’s Iconic ‘Siuu’ Celebration After Demolishing the Londoners

• Rodrygo drew inspiration from Cristiano Ronaldo after inspiring Real Madrid to a semifinal berth at the expense of Chelsea
• The Brazilian bagged a brace as Los Blancos cruised to a two-nil win and four-nil overall aggregate to reach the last four of Europe's premier club competition
• It is the 30th time Real Madrid have reached the semifinal of the UEFA Champions League

Rodrygo Goes mimicked Cristiano Ronaldo's trademark 'Siuu' celebration after scoring against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.

Fresh from producing a man-of-the-match performance over the weekend, Rodrygo was on hand to end Chelsea's hopes of a comeback in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie.

The Brazilian has hit a purple patch of form at the right time, breaking the game's deadlock with a brilliant strike inside the box, much to the chagrin of the initially vociferous home crowd.

He would be served on a plate to end the tie as a contest by Fede Valverde, who danced through the Chelsea defence before setting up the 22-year-old for the game's second and helping Madrid seal a four-nil aggregate win.

However, it was the Brazilian's celebration that caught the attention of many.

How did Rodrygo celebrate?

The promising Brazilian attacker took a leaf from Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration book - copying the latter's iconic 'Siuu' celebration after breaking the deadlock in the second leg.

He now has 15 goals in the Champions League. For context, Rodrygo has more Champions League goals than former World Footballer of the Year Zinedine Zidane, per Football Tweet.

Rodrygo: Madrid's Mr Clutch

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that one week is not a thing in the life period of a human being, but as far as a professional footballer is concerned, it can be a chasm.

Rodrygo surely still makes the fans of Chelsea shiver after his sensational goal upended their Champions League aspirations in April last year. The Brazilian also struck twice in the dying embers to break the hearts of Manchester City and made Pep Guardiola tremble on the touchline.

Producing consistent clutch moments is not easy to come by, but putting up splendid performances in the toughest matches should be prized and honoured.
