"Siuuu", also known as "suiii", "siiuuu" or "siii", formally the Cristiano Ronaldo Celebration, refers to a gesture performed by Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo whenever he scores a goal. The gesture involves the goal scorer jumping and spinning simultaneously with both arms pointing upwards and landing with a firm stance on the ground with both arms pointing down bellowing "Siuuu". Since Ronaldo first performed the gesture in 2013, it has been widely imitated by athletes and personalities both in and outside of football when celebrating scoring in respective sports or a significant achievement, and is widely regarded as one of the most iconic association football celebrations of all time.
Origin
The gesture was first performed by Ronaldo on August 7, 2013, during the 2013 International Champions Cup Final between Real Madrid and Chelsea. Ronaldo had already helped Madrid gain a 2-1 lead with a free kick when he headed in a cross from Isco, helping Madrid beat Chelsea 3-1 to claim the International Champions Cup and celebrating with his first "Siuuu".
Meaning and explanation
During an interview after the match against Chelsea when he first performed the gesture, Ronaldo explained he scored the goal and "it just felt natural" and "didn't know where it came from". He started doing it more often and when the supporters see it they are reminded of him.
The phrase "siu" is derived from Spanish, meaning "yes". This was confirmed by Ronaldo in an interview in 2023, almost a decade since he first performed it. Ronaldo explained that the phrase "Siuuu' simply means yes, but "meaning it very strongly".
