Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved an incredible amount in his career won five Ballon dOrs, lifted countless trophies and cemented himself as one of footballs all-time greats. But now, the Portuguese star has taken an unexpected leap into gaming and electronic music, thanks to a surreal new crossover.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Ronaldo had been added as a playable character in Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves a throwback, arcade-style fighting game.
In the game, Ronaldo enters the fictional world of South Town, taking on series legends like Mai Shiranui and Terry Bogard using a unique blend of football-inspired martial arts.
Now, in an update to the game, things have gone from strange to downright surreal: Ronaldo is the centre of an all-new story mode, and its soundtracked by a thumping dance anthem made just for him.
The track, titled Fury (Siuuu), is produced by Brazilian EDM heavyweight DJ Alok, best known for the 2016 global hit Hear Me Now. And yes it includes Ronaldos signature Siuuu goal celebration as the actual drop.
A high-energy electro banger, the song combines motivational lyrics with club-ready production, but its Ronaldos unmistakable voice that steals the show. Just before the beat kicks in, you can hear him shout SIUUUUU!, triggering the drop in classic EDM fashion.
Its wild, its ridiculous and, honestly, its hilarious.
Whether its a stroke of marketing genius or pure meme bait, "Fury (Siuuu)" has to be heard (or played) to be believed. For Ronaldo diehards, its likely to go down a storm. For everyone else? Call it unintentional comedy gold.
