Cristiano Ronaldo is known for many things: as a genetic freak of athletes, has one of the highest jumps in football history, and of course, he can still score goals, many.

He was also known for one of the most iconic goal celebration moves ever, jumping into the air, landing with his arms on both sides of his body and shouting “SIUUUUUUUUUUU.” While we are still not entirely sure what this means, it has not stopped fans and players around the world from copying it, and it is not someone else who has done so lately, it is Ronaldo's son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.

The 14-year-old celebrated not once but twice after scoring a goal against Croatia in Portugal’s U-15. For his first goal, Ronaldo Jr. shot hard from a small angle in the penalty area. His second goal was a timely header, putting the team's clever offense.

He used his father's signature celebration to commemorate the two goals, and some of his teammates even joined in. The Portuguese national team and Ronaldo himself shared the clips on Instagram, proudly captioning: "

Cristiano Jr. Cristiano for Portugal's first two SIUUUUs! Ronaldo Jr.'s first goal for Portugal was a few days after his national team debut against Japan. The teenager started on the bench but was replaced in the 54th minute to help Portugal win 4-1. As you might expect, his father was filled with a proud smile. The Al Nassr star shared a series of photos of his son on social media, writing: "Congratulations on your debut in Portugal, son. Be proud of you! It's too early, but Ronaldo's good start in international competitions shows that he's ready to start creating his reputation.
