00:00Some soccer celebrations were not just celebrations.
00:02They felt like personal attacks.
00:03Here are five celebrations that instantly turned the stadium against one player.
00:07At number five, Wayne Rooney's knockout celebration.
00:09After all the stories outside the pitch, Rooney scores, turns to the crowd,
00:12throws a few punches in the air, and drops like he has been knocked out.
00:15Funny, cold, and impossible not to replay.
00:18At number four, Mario Balotelli with Why Always Me.
00:21No sprint, no screaming, no crazy dance.
00:23He just lifts his shirt and lets one sentence do all the talking.
00:26At number three, Cristiano Ronaldo at the camp now.
00:28Yes, only number three.
00:29He scores against Barcelona, turns to the fans, and gives them the famous calma gesture,
00:33like he is telling the whole stadium to sit down and be quiet.
00:35Ronaldo fans will say this should be number one.
00:38At number two, Lionel Messi at the Bernabeu.
00:40Last seconds, Clasico pressure, goal, and then he holds his shirt up in front of Real Madrid fans.
00:45No words needed.
00:46Messi fans will say this is the coldest celebration ever.
00:48But number one is even more disrespectful.
00:50Emmanuel Adebayor against Arsenal.
00:52He scores for Manchester City against his old club and sprints across the entire pitch
00:55just to celebrate in front of the Arsenal fans.
00:57That was not a celebration anymore.
00:58That was revenge.
00:59If you think Messi or Ronaldo deserved number one, argue in the comments.
01:03But if you know football history, you know why Adebayor is here.
