Football pleases fans not only by the game and beautiful goals scored, but also by the way players celebrate these balls. Sometimes, and very often, the gestures and movements of football players during the celebration of goals can not be immediately understood - where exactly they came from and what they mean.
TSN Prosport made a selection of the brightest and most popular celebrations of goals scored in the number 1 sport on the planet.
We begin this move-parade with traditional celebrations that have already penetrated into the fashion of football and have become an integral part of it..
Very often, players celebrate a goal, putting the ball under the shirt. This gesture means adding to the player’s family..
Continuing the theme of children, players sometimes celebrate scoring with a wiggle of hands.. This gesture was first used in 1994 by Brazilian footballer Bebeto.. Later, quite predictably, he received the name "Bebeto tin".
From the "Bebeto gesture" went the aforementioned swaying of the hands and even the image of the simulated nipples. One of the first who thought up to put a thumb in his mouth is the legend of the Roman "Roma" - Francesco Totti.
A similar gesture was often practiced by Brazilian footballer Robinho..
Often, football players say hello to their second half.. During the celebration of the goal, they kiss the ring finger, on which the wedding ring is supposedly present.. The pioneer of this gesture is the star ex-player of Real Madrid and Spain’s Raul Gonzalez. With such a gesture, he demonstrates loyalty to his wife, even on the football field..
Abstracting from traditional celebrations, we turn our attention to rather unusual "celebrities".
Former Italian striker Juventus and Roma Montenegro, Mirko Vucinic, scored a goal during the game as part of the qualifying round for the European Championship 2012, removed his shorts and put them on his head. Further, the player received a yellow card from the judge.
Separately deserves the attention of the Icelandic club - "Stiernyan". The players of this team after each goal are satisfied with the whole performance..
Football players each time show fans a mini-performance.. Interestingly, players in their free time from practice even rehearse their masterpieces.. We offer to see the brightest celebration of the goals of this team..
Very often, football players celebrate goals, raising both hands to the sky.. This gesture means gratitude to God for all that the player himself now has in his life, or the memory of a deceased relative or a loved one..
The first who celebrated the goal in this way is the holder of the Golden Ball 2007, Brazilian Kaka. After that, his gesture repeated a lot of players..
Incredible somersaults.
Football players love to celebrate goals even in the air. Scoring a ball, they do an acrobatic flip. It looks just incredible..
Similarly, the goals of Obafemi Martins, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Julius Agahov, Miroslav Klose were celebrated.. It should be noted that the pioneer of this celebration was the famous forward of Real Madrid, Hugo Sanchez, who celebrated his goals at the 1986 World Cup..

Once a similar celebration of a football player turned fatal.
Turning to the modern celebrations, the heads immediately recall the French midfielder of English, “Manchester United” - Paul Pogba.
The “red devils” playmaker “dub” is already known all over the world, but not everyone knows what it means.
Once Pogba forced dub French President Emmanuel Macron to perform.
Pogba began to celebrate in a similar way his goal from the winter of 2016, when he was still a performer of the Italian Juventus.. After, this celebration became his calling card..
Frenchman "borrowed a deb" from the US hip-hop city of USA - Atlanta. Officially, this gesture means belonging to the hip-hop culture. The first among all the athletes who used the “deb” is the American football player Cam Newton, who in 2015 debuted every touchdown (goal in American football).
Another player of the "old signora" can spectacularly celebrate goals. This is a young Argentine forward - Paulo Dibale. Many have seen Dybala putting divorced thumb and index fingers to her face, depicting a kind of mask..
The gesture was called the “Mask of the Dybala”, and its content was soon revealed by the forward himself..
"This is a gladiator mask! When we fight, we must fulfill the role of a warrior in order to become stronger, without losing the smile and kindness".
His signature gesture Dibala first used during the match, “Juventus” with “Atalanta” in the Italian Championship. In the future, almost no celebration of a striker’s goal is scored without such a performance..
On April 23, 2017, Barcelona striker Lionel Messi scored a victorious goal at the gate of the sworn enemy of the Catalans - Real Madrid. Having scored “creamy”, the Argentinean lifted his T-shirt and unwrapped it with his last name..
After that, this gesture was repeated by Inter Milan striker - Mauro Icardi.
Interestingly, Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder celebrated his goal in the same way - Viktor Kovalenko. Junior footballer of the Donetsk team took off his T-shirt when he celebrated a scored ball in the derby with Dynamo Kyiv.

They even made a lot of memes to celebrate Messi..
"Heart" celebrations.
Real Madrid midfielder Gareth Bale often celebrates a goal with his heart.
For the first time this gesture by the star Welshman showed in 2010. Since 2013, this gesture is a trademark. It is interesting that other players can celebrate goals in a similar way, but it’s strictly forbidden to print hearts on goods. If someone wants to use this "festive heart", then the player must pay about 4 million euros.
The last who closes our heading is the forward of the Italian "Juventus" Cristiano Ronaldo and his jump.
Portuguese forward almost every time jumps up and puts his hands in different directions.
It is noted that in this way the holder of five Golden Balls shows who exactly the main.
We decided to complete the list of top football celebrations with memes with Ronaldo.
