Real Sociedad’s mascot mocks Cristiano Ronaldo after Manchester United failed to finish top of their Europa League group

Portuguese football star, Cristiano Ronaldo got quite a shade from Real Sociedad’s mascot after Manchester United suffered a disappointing result against the Spanish side on Thursday night.

The English side won the game 1-0, but they needed to win by at least two goals to finish top of their Europa League group.

Real Sociedad topped the group with goal difference, which meant Manchester United will be heading to the Europa League knockout play-offs instead of receiving a bye to the last 16.

They’ll play a two-legged tie against a team that has dropped down into the competition from the Champions League and could face the likes of Ajax, Barcelona, and Juventus.

After the match, Real Sociedad’s mascot could be seen performing Ronaldo’s trademark ‘Siu’ celebration in front of the home supporters.

This came after Garnacho who scored Manchester United’s only goal in the match, copied the Portuguese star’s celebration, but only after asking the five-time Ballon d’Or winner for permission first.

Manchester Evening News journalist Samuel Luckhurst shared a video of the home mascot performing the celebration to Twitter, alongside the caption:

“Some stellar schadenfreude/shithousery from the Real Sociedad mascot, who is celebrating by siiiiuing.”
