Cristiano Ronaldo should start charging people for imitating him.

The Real Madrid forward’s goal celebration has become the go-to move nowadays to celebrate everything from a last-minute winner on Fifa to a nicely made cup of tea.

And the routine has gone stateside now with New York Giants Wide Receiver Odell Beckham Jr breaking out “The Ronnie” to celebrate his 67-yard touchdown reception against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

The touchdown, and indeed the celebration, meant little at the end of the game as the Falcons ran out 24-20 winners but it just goes to show what a global phenomenon Cristiano Ronaldo is.
