FC 26: How to Do the Siu Celebration

Few football celebrations have crossed over into global pop culture the way Cristiano Ronaldo's "Siu" celebration has. From Real Madrid fans in the Santiago Bernabéu to kids recreating it on playgrounds, the move has become synonymous with Ronaldo's legendary career. Now, with EA FC 26, fans want to know exactly how to replicate it in Ultimate Team, Career Mode, and Kick Off.

 

Whether you're scoring with Ronaldo himself or just want to let your striker channel CR7's iconic energy, here's everything you need to know about performing the Siu in FC 26.

 

How to Do Ronaldo's Siu Celebration in FC 26

 

The good news? Pulling off Ronaldo's Siu celebration in FC 26 is as straightforward as his lethal right foot. The exact button inputs depend on whether you're controlling Ronaldo himself or another player.

When Playing as Cristiano Ronaldo

 

Ronaldo comes with his Siu coded as a signature celebration. That means after you score with him, all you need to do is:

 

·PlayStation (PS4/PS5): Press X

·Xbox (Series X|S/One): Press A

 

That's it - a single button press, and CR7 will automatically spin, leap, and land with arms wide before letting out his trademark roar of "Siu!"

When Playing as Any Other Player

 

Scoring with someone other than Ronaldo takes just one extra step. EA placed the Siu into the "signature celebration" pool, so you'll need to hit a slightly more technical button combo:

 

·PlayStation (PS4/PS5): Hold R1 and press Circle

·Xbox (Series X|S/One): Hold RB and press B

·Nintendo Switch: Hold R and press A

 

Execute these inputs right after scoring, and your player - whether it's Erling Haaland, Cole Palmer, or your own created Pro - will mimic Ronaldo's iconic routine.

 

The Animation: What Happens During the Siu?

 

The celebration starts with your scorer running toward the corner flag before launching into a dramatic mid-air spin. On landing, they spread their arms wide as the camera cuts in close. That's when the famous "Siu" yell rings out across the stadium - much to the delight of your fans and the despair of your opponent online.

 

In FC 26, the Siu looks even smoother thanks to updated animations and crowd audio. EA has leaned heavily into realism this year, meaning the Siu feels just as energetic in the game as it does in real-life highlights.

 

Ronaldo's Siu Celebration: Origins and Meaning

 

Ronaldo's Siu isn't just a video game flourish - it's one of the most instantly recognizable celebrations in football history.

 

·First Appearance: Ronaldo debuted the Siu in 2013 during a pre-season friendly between Real Madrid and Chelsea.

·Evolution: From that point forward, it became his signature move, performed after hundreds of goals across La Liga, Serie A, the Premier League, and international tournaments.

·Cultural Impact: The celebration has been imitated by fellow athletes, from tennis champion Novak Djokovic to basketball players dropping it courtside.

 

What Does "Siu" Mean?

 

The word itself is simply Portuguese for "yes". Ronaldo has explained in interviews that the Siu is his way of expressing joy and connection with fans after scoring. While the translation might seem simple, the delivery - the jump, the spin, the roar - is what turned it into a cultural phenomenon.

 

Why the Siu Matters in FC 26

 

EA knows how important celebrations are to fans. They're more than just flashy animations - they're part of the game's culture. The Siu in particular has become a psychological weapon in online play. Scoring with Ronaldo and hitting the Siu isn't just about flair; it's about sending a message.

 

·Ultimate Team: Picture yourself scoring a 90th-minute winner in FUT Champs, then unleashing the Siu. Few celebrations frustrate opponents more.

·Career Mode: Building a young striker into a superstar? Teaching them the Siu lets you add Ronaldo-style swagger to their rise.

·Kick Off with Friends: For casual matches, nothing gets the banter flying like spamming the Siu after every goal.

 

And while you're grinding Ultimate Team objectives, don't forget that managing your resources is just as important as scoring goals. Many players look to save time and maximize performance by choosing to buy EAFC 26 Coins from trusted sellers, making squad-building smoother while still having fun pulling off iconic celebrations like the Siu.

 

Tips for Pulling Off the Siu Consistently

 

1. Timing Is Key: Input the button combination immediately after scoring. Waiting too long can trigger a different celebration or the default run back to the halfway line.

2. Practice in Kick Off: If you're struggling to nail the timing, test it in offline matches until it becomes second nature.

3. Remember the Combos: For Ronaldo himself, it's one button. For anyone else, memorize the two-button combo for your platform.

4. Mix It Up: While the Siu is iconic, spamming it can get predictable. Combine it with other celebrations for variety.

 

Final Takeaway

 

The Siu celebration in EA FC 26 is simple to perform but packed with meaning. For Ronaldo fans, it's the ultimate way to pay tribute to one of football's greatest players. For Ultimate Team grinders, it's a tool to hype your squad - or tilt your opponent.

 

·With Cristiano Ronaldo: Press X (PS) or A (Xbox).

·With any other player: Use the R1 + Circle (PS), RB + B (Xbox), or R + A (Switch) combo.

 

Whether you're channeling Ronaldo's Real Madrid glory days or just want to add some flair to your weekend league matches, mastering the Siu is a must in FC 26.

 

So the next time you bag a goal in FC 26 Ultimate Team, spin into the air, spread your arms, and let the stadium echo with "Siuuuuu!" - because sometimes, spending your FC 26 Coins wisely isn't just about squad upgrades. It's also about celebrating in style.
