Cristiano Ronaldo's son copies dad's iconic celebration after first Portugal goals | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo is famed for many things: being a genetic freak of an athlete, boasting one of the highest jumps in football history, and, of course, scoring goals - lots of them.

He’s also known for one of the most iconic goal celebrations of all time, leaping into the air, landing with his arms by his sides, and yelling “SIUUUUUU” at the top of his lungs.

While we’re still not entirely sure what it means, that hasn’t stopped fans and players around the world from copying it - and the latest to do so is none other than Ronaldo’s own son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.

The 14-year-old hit the celebration not once, but twice after scoring in Portugal's Under-15s clash against Croatia at the Vlatko Markovic International Tournament.

For his first goal, Ronaldo Jr. rifled a fierce left-footed shot from a tight angle inside the box. His second came with a well-timed header into an empty net to cap off a slick team move.

He marked both goals with his dad’s trademark celebration, with a few of his teammates even joining in.

Portugal’s national team and Ronaldo himself shared the clips on Instagram, proudly captioning:“Cristiano Jr.’s first two SIUUUU for Portugal!”

Ronaldo Jr.’s first goals for Portugal came just days after making his international debut against Japan.

The teenager started on the bench but was brought on in the 54th minute, helping Portugal cruise to a 4-1 victory.

As you’d expect, his father was beaming with pride. Sharing a series of photos of his son in action on social media, the Al Nassr star wrote: “Congratulations on your Portugal debut, son. Very proud of you!”

It’s still early days, but Ronaldo Jr.'s strong start at international level suggests he’s ready to start carving out a reputation of his own.
