The Ronaldo celebration sees the Portuguese player jump into the air before making a mid-air pirouette, then landing and exclaiming the "Siu!" phrase.

First performed in 2013 when Cristiano Ronaldo scored for Real Madrid against Chelsea in a pre-season friendly, the "Siu" celebration has become a phenomenon among football fans and other players since.
One of the most recent examples even took place outside of the sport, with professional tennis player Novak Djokovic replicating the celebration in an all-star match at the Ryder Cup.
The meaning behind the word was confirmed by Ronaldo as simply "yes" in Portuguese, which is used to represent his delight at scoring a goal.
