In a video circulating on Twitter, spotted by Sports Brief, the charismatic religious leader is seen addressing an eager congregation while incorporating references to the five-time Ballon d'Or awardee.

During his sermon, Pastor Obed, who boasts an MBA in Operations Management, per Cover Ghana, skillfully illustrated the sense of despair that engulfs individuals when their team is lagging behind.

Nevertheless, he contrasted this with the jubilation that erupts when a goal is scored, akin to Ronaldo's euphoric "Siuuu" celebration.

What does Ronaldo's 'Siuuu' celebration mean?

'Siuu' is the Portuguese equivalent of 'yes'. As detailed by GOAL, Ronaldo introduced this exclamation for the first time at the 2014 Ballon d'Or ceremony, triumphing over Messi to claim the award.

A year prior to this, he had spontaneously displayed the gesture during a pre-season match against Chelsea.

Subsequently, he transformed it into a celebratory routine following his goals. This routine involved a mid-air 'dance' followed by an enthusiastic "Siuuu" proclamation upon landing.

Ronaldo, Mane perform double 'Siuuu'

In a related publication, Sports Brief reported that Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated together after the Portuguese star scored Al-Nassr's opening goal against Raja Casablanca on August 6.

Ronaldo and Mane marked the goal by both performing the Manchester United legend's iconic 'Siuuu' celebration.

The 38-year-old urged the Senegalese star and his other teammates to follow him to the corner flag before they jumped into the air and pulled off the signature pose.

Ronaldo's Siuuu ranked best celebraion

Football's charm lies in its diverse celebrations, from dance moves to acrobatic gestures and amusing displays on the pitch, all of which contribute to making it the world's most beloved game.

Among the iconic and personalised celebrations, Cristiano Ronaldo's famous 'Siuuu' tops the list, Sports Brief reported.
