The iconic celebration has become a trademark for the 39-year Al-Nassr star that sees him perform a mid-air pirouette before exclaiming "si!" (sometimes spelt "siu") – which is Spanish for "yes!" – upon landing. It is an expression of delight at scoring. After Ronaldo jumps and lands, supporters normally join the player in roaring the word, producing a booming sound reverberating throughout the stadium.
