Cristiano Ronaldo marked the 12th anniversary of his iconic ‘Siuuu’ celebration today with a stunning hat-trick.

On this day in 2013, Ronaldo first introduced the ‘Siuuu’ celebration during a pre-season friendly match for Real Madrid against Chelsea. He has shared that the celebration was spontaneous, a natural reaction after scoring a goal.

Thursday night (August 7), Bangladesh time, Ronaldo celebrated the 12-year milestone of his ‘Siuuu’ with a hat-trick for Saudi club Al Nassr in a pre-season friendly against Portuguese club Rio Ave F.C.

A hat-trick on the anniversary of the ‘Siuuu’ celebration—what a unique and glorious achievement!

Ronaldo’s ‘Siuuu’ has transcended his own legacy in football, inspiring other players across the sport. When an opponent mimics the ‘Siuuu’ celebration after scoring against him, Ronaldo takes pride in it, often chuckling and embracing the moment with joy.

The influence of Ronaldo’s ‘Siuuu’ extends beyond football. It has made its mark in other sports, including cricket. Recently, during a Test match at The Oval between India and England, we witnessed Mohammed Siraj celebrate England’s defeat with a special ‘Siuuu’ moment.

In the pre-season friendly, Al Nassr defeated Rio Ave F.C. 4-0.

The hat-trick and match statistics will not count toward Ronaldo’s official club or individual international career records.
