Cristiano Ronaldo's 'siuu' celebration doesn't need any introduction as it is already one of the most famous actions done by athletes across sports while celebrating their wins or performances, imitating Portugal's legendary footballer.
Ronaldo's recent iconic celebration was just further decorated by his Al Nassr teammate Alex Telles who was spotted capturing the moment.
During the celebration, the ex-Manchester United left-back made an imaginary gesture to capture Ronaldo's moment who scored the winner as the Saudi Arabian club defeated Iraqi champions Al-Shorta in the semi-final of the Arab Club Champions Cup.

In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Telles is seen gliding through the grass as he took a shot with his hands.
Telles and Ronaldo shared the pitch for a while at Manchester United before reuniting in the summer transfer window at Al Nassr.
Following the victory over Al-Shorta, Al Nassr will meet Saudi giants Al Hilal in the final of the competition on Saturday, August 12. Ronaldo will be eyeing his first trophy with Al Nassr after missing the Saudi Pro League title to Al Ittihad last season.

"Final - here we go!! Good work team! Special thanks to our fans for the amazing support and for always pushing us forward!," Ronaldo wrote on Twitter after the game.
10 years of 'siuu' celebration
Cristiano Ronaldo has given uncountable iconic moments in the history of the game but it's his goal celebration that seems to have become immortal in modern football.
This peculiar celebration was born 10 years ago, back then when it seemed that he would never stop scoring goals.
The famous celebration takes place when he jumps vertically and when he comes down he opens his hands while shouting "Siuuu".
The moment first took place when he used to play for Laliga club Real Madrid, a stint where he was regarded as the best player in the world alongside rival Lionel Messi.
This happened on August 7, 2013, when he celebrated a goal that way for the first time with a move that is still the most imitated in the world of sports.
10 years after the legendary Portuguese shouted the "Siuuu" for the first time, he has reportedly done it 479 times more.
His celebration has been seen when he has scored goals for Real Madrid, the Portugal National Team, Manchester United, Juventus, and now with Al Nassr.

It was a pre-season match where Real Madrid faced Chelsea on U.S. soil when Ronaldo first performed the famous celebration as the Spanish club guided by Jose Mourinho won 3-1.
Since August 7, 2013, Cristiano scored 249 goals with Real Madrid, 101 with Juventus, 85 with Portugal, 27 with Manchester United, and 17 with Al-Nassr, his current club in Saudi Arabia.
