  • Serdar Dursun paid homage to Al-Nassr captain, Cristiano Ronaldo
  • The Fenerbahce forward performed CR7's 'Siuu' signature in style
  • The 'Siuu' gesture is one of the most iconic celebrations in football

Fenerbahce's Serdar Dursun, currently on loan from Fatih Karagumruk, emulated Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'Siuu' celebration after scoring a crucial goal in his side's 4-2 victory against Mario Balotelli's Adana Demirspor.

Despite facing limited playing time due to the outstanding performances of Edin Dzeko, who leads the Turkish Super Lig's top scorers chart with 19 goals, Dursun seized his opportunity to shine on Wednesday, April 3.

Called upon by coach Ismail Kartal during a tense moment in the game, the 32-year-old responded with a powerful header that found the back of the net, securing Fenerbahce's win and keeping them in contention with league leaders Galatasaray.

While Dursun's goal was pivotal, it was his homage to Ronaldo with the 'Siuu' celebration that captured attention, as captured by Euro Foot.

Mimicking the football superstar's trademark move, the German-born forward performed the celebration four times, marking his first goal in four games, per Transfermarkt.

Following in Cristiano's footsteps, Dursun joins a list of footballers who pay tribute to the Portuguese legend's iconic celebrations, reflecting the Al-Nassr superstar's widespread influence on the sport.

How fans reacted to Dursun's homage to Ronaldo

"He knows the real goat."

Another social media user, @babangiida, added:

"Ronaldo has the street."

@rapel_lion reasoned:

"Cristiano Ronaldo’s influence is insane."

@ThaiNeeSZNN affirmed:

"Most iconic celebration ever."

@nikc26263 reacted:

"Wow."

Ronaldo's 'Siuu' performed in front of Messi

In a similar gesture, Sports Brief highlighted that Al-Hilal forward Michael imitated Ronaldo's 'Siuu' celebration in front of Lionel Messi during a friendly match between the Saudi League side and Messi's Inter Miami on Monday night, January 29.

After scoring, Michael dashed towards the corner flag, replicating Ronaldo's celebration.

The Brazilian forward frequently employs the iconic celebration popularized by the Portuguese star.

The meaning behind Ronaldo's 'Siuu' explained

'Siuu' is a Portuguese word that translates to "yes." Ronaldo initially exclaimed it during the 2014 Ballon d'Or ceremony when he won the award over Messi, as noted by Sports Brief.

A year earlier, he casually used the celebration during a pre-season match against Chelsea.

Later, he incorporated it into his goal celebration routine, executing a mid-air "dance" followed by shouting "Siuu" upon landing.
