The celebration has gained popularity among fans and even footballers, who sometimes imitate it.

Ronaldo is believed to have first screamed 'Siu' when he won the 2014 Ballon d'Or award.

However, per talkSPORT, the Portuguese star actually hit the cele a year earlier during the 2013 International Champions Cup final between Real Madrid and Chelsea.

The celebration has gone on to become quite popular among football enthusiasts.

Vini Jr declares 'Siu' the most iconic celebration

Vini Jr now contends that 'Siu' is the most iconic celebration in the history of football.

Speaking ahead of the Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund, the Brazilian added that 'Siu' is his favourite celebration.

"Without a doubt Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘Siuuuu. I’d say it is the most iconic celebration in football. But I also like the dance moves from NFL players and celebrations with the fans," he said, per Sportskeeda.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo has previously explained the meaning behind the famous celebration.

The Portugal international further disclosed that he had not put any thought behind the celebration as it was invented in the spur of the moment.

"It seems to have grown into its own global phenomenon - and I love when I see other players doing it," he previously said.
