In a recent interview with DAZN, Cristiano Ronaldo revealed the interesting story behind his 'Siii' celebration. 'Si' means yes in Spanish. Cristiano Ronaldo said in a snippet that the celebration originated from his time at Real Madrid. The Juventus forward said, "When we all won, they said siiii! I started saying it, I don’t know why.
