Townsend copies Cristiano Ronaldo's 'Siiiiii' celebration: 3 other players who did

Manchester United drew their Matchday 7 fixture against Everton at Old Trafford, after playing 1-1. The shared point against Everton continues their bad luck on home grounds in domestic competitions with 2 losses and 1 draw in their past 3 matches at the Old Trafford. One of the highlights of the match against Everton was when Andros Townsend performed Cristiano Ronaldo's 'Siiiii' celebration when he scored the equaliser in the 65th minute. Over the years, some other players have copied Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic 'Siiii' celebration, we'll look at 3 of them.

Cesinha - K-League All-stars

One of the earliest players to copy Cristiano Ronaldo's goal celebration was Korean League's All-star player, Cesinha. This happened in a pre-season friendly match between Juventus and the K-League All-stars team. Cesinha had scored in the 45th minute to put his side 2-1 up in the friendly match. To everyone's surprise, Cesinha performed the iconic 'Siiiii' celebration and he was also joined in it by two other K-League All-stars. Cristiano Ronaldo was on the bench for that match and he looked on with a smile. 

Paulo Dybala - Juventus

Lionel Messi's international teammate, Paulo Dybala formed a terrific partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo at Juventus. At a period, the Argentine had gone through the longest time when he had not scored a goal for the Bianconeri. Cristiano Ronaldo gave him an assist and Dybala thanked the Portuguese by mimicking his 'Siiiii' celebration. Later in that match, Cristiano Ronaldo also mimicked Dybala's face mask celebration when he scored.

Jesse Lingard - Manchester United

Another teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo to have copied the 5-time Ballon d'Or winner's 'Siiii' celebration is current teammate, Jesse Lingard. Though, the England international copied the celebration in England's 4-0 victory against Andorra. The United midfielder revealed that he copied the celebration to welcome Cristiano Ronaldo back to Manchester United.
