  • Vinicius Junior got the whole stadium going Siuuu after scoring against Barcelona in Saudi Arabia
  • Rodrygo is a massive fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and used his celebration in the Champions League
  • Neymar is a friend and teammate of Lionel Messi, but he couldn't resist doing the popular Siuuu

Everyone wants to do the Siuuu celebration at least once in their life.

The highly catchy celebration has taken on a life of its own, and Cristiano Ronaldo enjoys watching other superstars do it.

As noted by Soccer Laduma, CR7 previously opened up on the celebration's origin and how he felt watching others perform it.

With Real Madrid's Vinicius Junior becoming the latest big-name player to use it, Sports Brief looks at five players who have replicated the celebration.

Football stars who used Ronaldo's celebration

Vinicius Jr

We start with the latest replication of the popular Siuuu, which came courtesy of Madrid's Vini Jr.

The Brazilian attacker scored a hat-trick against Barcelona in the final of the Supercopa de Espana and broke out the celebration after his first and second goals.

After his Man of the Match performance in the final, Vini described how CR7 was his idol, and that's why he performed the Siuuu.

Alejandro Garnacho

Despite being Lionel Messi's teammate on the Argentinian national team, Garnacho is a huge fan of Ronaldo.

The Manchester United star even used the Al-Nassr captain's celebration after scoring his beautiful bicycle kick against Everton.

The celebration didn't sit well with everyone, as Arturo Vidal questioned Garnacho's decision to do so, Goal reported.

Rodrygo

Ronaldo is a Madrid club legend, and some stars at Los Blancos idolise the Portuguese player.

Brazil's Rodrygo is another youngster who views Ronaldo as a role model and therefore uses the Siuuu.

Rodrygo performed the celebration after scoring against Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League.

Neymar

A former teammate of Messi, Neymar also performed Ronaldo's celebration, but it wasn't during a game.

Neymar instead performed the Siuuu during Paris Saint-Germain training after scoring a goal.

In a video released of the moment, Messi could be seen watching the moment unfold.

Kylian Mbappe

The Paris Saint-Germain superstar is often considered part of the next generation of football greats.

A lethal attacker, he has disclosed in the part that he idolises Ronaldo and so it's no surprise that he's done the Siuuu either.

While it's no surprise that he is a fan of the Portuguese star, what is a surprise is how long back he's paid tribute to CR7. The French captain already used the celebration while he was a young player at Monaco, before he became a global superstar.

Ronaldo does Siuuu celebration with Kanye’s son

The Siuuu is so popular, that even non-footballers want to try doing it, Sports Brief earlier reported.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s son, Saint, wanted to try it and did it alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.

Saint travelled to Japan with his mother to watch Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr play against Paris Saint-Germain.
