Vinicius Jr Pays Tribute To Ronaldo With Iconic Goal Celebration

Real Madrid star, Vinicius Jr paid tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo when delivering an iconic goal celebration, but there was no ‘Siuuuu’ to be heard.

Portuguese sensation Cristiano Ronaldo is well-known for his celebratory leaps into the air, spins around, and lets out a loud yell when he is happy. Due to its increasing popularity, this routine is no longer just performed at football games; NFL, NBA, and rugby players have all joined in on the fun.

Vinicius, who currently wears the fabled No. 7 shirt at Santiago Bernabeu, which Ronaldo once wore with such distinction, has occasionally put on the “Siuuuu” show. However, he knows that CR7 has more victories in his archive.

In light of this, and after scoring for Real in the second leg of their Champions League semifinal match against RB Leipzig, the Brazil international began mimicking another of Ronaldo’s well-known routines, which involves him perching atop advertising hoardings.

Vinicius’s performance against Leipzig turned out to be pivotal, as the Blancos overcame a scare on home ground in Europe to win 2-1 overall and secure their spot in the quarterfinals. With 15 goals this season, their dependable South American striker is well on his way.
