The Fresh Batch: All New FC 25 Celebrations

FC 25 has cooked up a whole new menu of celebrations, each with its own flavor. Mastering these is like learning a new combo in a fighting game—it adds a whole new layer of style to your victories. Here’s the full breakdown, complete with the button magic to make it happen.

Celebration Name How To Perform (PlayStation / Xbox) Vibe Check ✅
Arms To Crowd Hold L1/LB + Move Right Stick counter-clockwise The classic "I am here" pose, soaking in the adoration like a plant soaking up sunlight.
Boxing Hold R1/RB + Press Triangle/Y twice Throw some virtual fists, perfect after a scrappy, hard-fought goal.
Chicken Dance Hold L1/LB + Move Right Stick right then left The ultimate meme celebration. Deploy at your own risk (or for maximum chaos).
Driving Hold L2/LT + Move Right Stick down then up Pretend to steer a car. Simple, clean, a little bit retro.
Kiss The Ring Hold R2/RT + Press Triangle/Y twice The ultimate power move. It says "bow down" without uttering a syllable.
Slide Salute Hold R1/RB + Hold Right Stick to the right A slick, military-style slide and salute. All business, all respect (or disrespect?).
Tea Hold L2/LT + Move Right Stick right then left Sip imaginary tea like a boss. The pinnacle of calm, collected toxicity. It’s as British as a sudden downpour during a barbecue.
Timber Hold L2/LT + Press Circle/B twice The classic "timber!" fall. Always a crowd-pleaser for its sheer ridiculousness.
Tumble Hold L2/LT + Move Right Stick clockwise A controlled, gymnastic-style roll. For the acrobats among us.
Walk Like Me Hold L1/LB + Move Right Stick right then up A confident, strutting walk. The swagger here is thicker than a bowl of oatmeal.

The Signature Moves: Player-Specific Celebrations ⭐

This is the crème de la crème. Some stars in FC 25 have their iconic real-life celebrations perfectly mocapped and baked into the game. The best part? They're incredibly easy to activate. When you score with one of these players, simply pressing the default celebration button (X on PlayStation, A on Xbox) will automatically trigger their signature move instead of a generic one. It's like their celebration is a secret handshake only they know.

Here are the ballers with their own built-in flair:

  • Mohamed Salah: The famous knee-slide and arms-wide pose. Pure Egyptian King energy.

  • James Tarkowski: Get ready for his trademark, no-nonsense celebration.

  • Steven Bergwijn: Unleash his unique goal routine straight from the Eredivisie.

  • Ashley Barnes: Score and see his characteristic veteran's celebration.

  • Jamal Musiala: The young superstar's slick and modern signature move.

Pro Tips for Celebration Domination 💡

  1. Practice in Skill Games: Seriously! Head to the practice arena and try out combos without the pressure of a match. It’s the training mode for your flex.

  2. Know Your Moment: A delicate chip shot might call for the calm "Tea" sip. A 90th-minute screamer? That's "Kiss The Ring" territory. Context is key.

  3. The Power of L1/LB + R1/RB: Don't forget, holding L1/LB cancels a celebration early, and holding R1/RB makes your player run back to the halfway line for a quick restart. Essential for when you're getting battered and just scored a consolation goal… no time for dancing!

So there you have it, folks! FC 25's celebration game is deeper than ever. Whether you're unlocking exclusive moves in Clubs, practicing Pro gameplay challenges, or simply busting out a new dance from the base list, these animations are your personal highlight reel. Now get out there, score some bangers, and celebrate like the virtual football legend you are! ⚽
