The famous celebration is easy to remember.
The “Siuuu.”
The arms.
The jump.
The landing.
But before the celebration came something much more important:
The expectation that the chance would become a goal.
Ronaldo’s mentality was visible long before the ball entered the net.
He played like someone who believed the decisive moment belonged to him.
That’s why his celebrations became part of football culture.
They represented the confidence that came before them.
