France Legend Antoine Griezmann Snubbed His Own “Drake Hotline Bling” Celebration in 2019

Over the years, soccer fans have seen a few iconic celebrations done during soccer games. Popular French striker Antoine Griezmann is a well-known face in this domain. Griezmann has graced the soccer universe with some of the funniest and most bizarre goal celebrations of all time. However, the phone celebration that Griezmann once borrowed from a music video by Drake will never be forgotten.

Griezmann also received quite a lot of popularity after doing that particular celebration for a few years. However, the Frenchman shockingly snubbed Drake’s iconic move for a new move a few years later.

Griezmann chooses another move over his ‘Drake Hotline Bling’ celebration!

Drake is one of the best rappers of all time. The Canadian rapper is popular for the rare dance move he pulls off in a few of his music videos. In 2015, Drake released a new single called ‘Hotline Bling’. Hotline Bling has been a superhit since Day 1. The music video received a lot of love from the soccer universe as well.

And the Atletico Madrid star borrowed a step from the music video. Griezmann then converted that step into his regular goal celebration in almost every game. The soccer star did that same move for quite a few years. But several years later, Griezmann decided to go against the celebration.

In 2019, Griezmann was doing a ‘fun’ interview with Unisport. During that interview, the host asked Griezmann to make a choice between two of his most iconic celebrations. The host asked the Frenchman whether he would choose the phone celebration or the Fortnite celebration. However, the Frenchman surprised everyone and showed the soccer world his new celebration. They termed it the ‘wave celebration.’

Ronaldo’s ‘SIUU’ needs a mention, doesn’t it?

Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘SIUU’ celebration always makes an appearance on all of these lists. The Portuguese soccer legend debuted the world-famous soccer celebration for the first time in 2013. Each and every soccer fan from across the world has done the ‘SIUU’ celebration at least once. The ‘SIUU’ celebration reached its prime in 2018 after it was the most featured celebration in the ‘FIFA 18’ video game.

Lionel Messi pointing his fingers toward the sky is also a very loved soccer celebration. The Argentine soccer legend once revealed that he used to point out to his grandmother who passed away. Messi revealed his grandmother had once played a vital role in his initial days as a soccer player.

Kylian Mbappe’s ‘folded hands’ celebration and Luis Suarez’s ‘three kisses’ are a few more soccer celebrations that the soccer universe will never forget.
