Cristiano Ronaldo is a global superstar and his reach is not limited to football only. Talents like Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, LeBron James etc., supersede their sport and reach out to millions of fans across the globe.
We all love a good celebration in sports and if it is something that gets all the fans involved, then even better. One such celebration that is synonymous with fans and players worldwide is the ‘siiii’ celebration made famous by none other than Cristiano Ronaldo.
Each time he scores a goal, CR7 runs towards the corner flag, jumps high in the air and brings his hands backwards and utters the word ‘siiii’, which in Spanish means Yes.
A lot of players from various sports have adopted that celebration. Daniel Ricciardo from Formula 1 attempted the celebration with his teammate Lando Norris. Former Indian cricket player, Ashok Dinda incorporated that celebration during the latter stages of his career. Footballers like Jesse Lingard and Paulo Dybala have also copied that celebration and it just goes to show how much of a sporting icon Cristiano Ronaldo is.
