“Haha [laughs], well I was in the USA [with Real Madrid] and we were playing against Chelsea. Now, I don’t know where it suddenly came from, the celebration”, CR 7 said in reply to his question.
“I just scored a goal and did this [imitates his moves] like ‘Siiii,” he added.
“But it was natural. To be honest, it was natural. And since then, I started to do it constantly and I feel like the supporters and the fans want to see me doing it again and again.”
“It’s like fans get reminded of me whenever they see the celebration, so I continue doing it like that.”
