Serbia fans trolled Cristiano Ronaldo by mimicking his famous "SIUUU" celebration after Portugal missed out on a place at the World Cup
- Serbia fans celebrated their team's historic win over Portugal on Sunday by mocking Cristiano Ronaldo.
- Fans in Novi Sad took to the streets to mimic the star's famous "SIUUU" celebration.
Serbia fans celebrated their team's historic win over Portugal on Sunday night by trolling Cristiano Ronaldo with his famous "SIUUU" celebration in the streets.
Dragan Stojkovic's side pulled off a memorable 2-1 win over Portugal courtesy of a last minute goal from Aleksander Mitrovic to book its place at next year's World Cup in Qatar.
Mitrovic's winning header at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon saw Serbia leapfrog Portugal to win qualifying group A and condemn Ronaldo and his team to having to reach the tournament through the playoffs.
The result left Ronaldo fighting back the tears at the final whistle, but Serbia fans certainly didn't have any sympathy for the Manchester United star.
Footage shared on social media shows a large group of the country's fans mocking Ronaldo in the streets of Novi Sad by mimicking his trademark goal celebration - jumping in the air and screaming "SIUUU" as they landed.
According to The Guardian, Serbia fans also swarmed the streets of central Belgrade, bringing traffic at the main Republic Square to a standstill as they waved flags and beeped their car horns.
Match winner Mitrovic later dedicated his side's victory to the people of Serbia.
"We came here to play football and having been the better side, we earned it all," he told reporters after the game. "We are reaping the rewards of hard work and the belief that we would be able to defy the odds and beat Portugal.
"We are overjoyed, for our country and the people first and foremost."
Serbia's most famous son, tennis star Novak Djokovic, also revelled in the win, sharing a video of himself to social media shouting from a hotel window.
Portugal can still qualify for the World Cup in Qatar next year, but now must do so through the playoffs, which are notoriously hard to predict. If the country misses out on Qatar, it is likely that fans will never get to see Ronaldo at another World Cup.
When the 2026 World Cup - held in the USA, Mexico, and Canada - arrives, Ronaldo will be in his 40s.
