VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo celebration used by goalscorer against Real Madrid Castilla

Celebration has become as much of an art form in modern football as the act of scoring a goal itself, with Real Madrid icon Cristiano Ronaldo boasting his very own go-to routine.

A man boasting a prolific strike rate for club and country can often been seen hitting his ‘right here, right now’ pose after finding the back of the net for Madrid or Portugal.

Given his standing in the global game, it should come as no surprise to find that his actions are emulated by millions around the world.

And we are not just talking about the stars of tomorrow honing their skills on the playground either.

In fact, Madrid were given a taste of their own medicine during a recent reserve clash between their Castilla side and Toledo.

Owusu is the man ‘doing a Ronaldo’, with the Toledo winger helping his side to a 2-0 victory at the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium.

Imitation is said to be the sincerest form of flattery, but Madrid are unlikely to have taken many positives from seeing a celebration they consider to be part of their fabric used against them.
