Cristiano Ronaldo revealed that his famous ‘Siiii’ goal celebration all started thanks to a moment of spontaneity during a pre-season match in 2013.

In an interview with Soccer.com, the 34-year-old icon explained how his famous jumping half-turn and outstretched arm act became synonymous with the CR7 brand.

“I scored and it just came out. It was completely natural to be honest. Afterwards, I realized I enjoyed it and started to do it more often.

“I saw that the fans liked it and that they’d remember it so I carried on doing it.”

Ronaldo will look to improve on his 28-goal total this season, which was his lowest total since 2008-09 – his final season at Manchester United.
