How to make the Topo Gigio Celebration video on MakeViral

Everything runs in the browser. No editing app, no prompt to write, no watermark.

  1. Add your photo

    Press "Create your own" and add you, face clear (from the waist up is best). Take it with the camera or pick it from your library.

  2. Press Generate

    The button shows the price. Seedance 2.5 films the Topo Gigio celebration scene straight from your photo, with no in-between picture, for 8 seconds with original sound. You write no prompt.

  3. Download or share

    The video is ready in a few minutes as a 9:16 MP4. Download it, share it from your phone, or find it later in your Library.

Which photo works best?

Upload one photo of you, or of an adult friend who said yes.

  • From the waist up or full body, face clear and well lit. The clip ends on slow-motion close-ups of your face, so a sharp, front-facing photo matters most.
  • Ears and hair uncovered. Your hands go behind your ears, so a cap, a hood or big headphones get in the way. No sunglasses.
  • Wear what you want to celebrate in. The AI keeps the clothes from your photo: a suit, a dress or a hoodie is funnier on the touchline than a football kit.
  • One person in the photo. In a group photo the AI can pick the wrong person.
  • Never a footballer, a celebrity, a stranger or a child.

Where did the Topo Gigio Celebration trend start?

The gesture is older than the trend. On 8 April 2001, in a Boca Juniors vs River Plate derby, Juan Román Riquelme scored and stood still with his hands cupped behind his ears, as if he could not hear the crowd. People named it after Topo Gigio, the big-eared puppet mouse from Italian TV, and Riquelme later said it was for his daughter, who loved the character. Since then the Riquelme Topo Gigio celebration has been copied all over Argentine football.

On 15 July 2026, in the World Cup semi-final in Atlanta, Enzo Fernández scored Argentina's 85th-minute equaliser against England with a strike from outside the box and did the same celebration. Argentina won 2-1. The Enzo Fernandez celebration vs England became a meme, and a photo of it posted by his club in England caused a small controversy among English fans.

In October it turned into an AI trend. On 12 October 2026 @ns7films posted an AI clip that put a fantasy TV character in his place; it passed 430,000 views. CapCut templates followed on 14 October, and #topogigiotrend, started on 15 October, had 685 videos and nearly 2 million views a day later.

Video prompt

The person from the photo [Image 1] stands in a full stadium at night, puts both hands behind the ears, puffs out the cheeks, slow push-in, TV broadcast look. A Topo Gigio goal celebration in one vertical 9:16 football clip, filmed like a real TV broadcast camera at pitch level, photorealistic and sharp. The person celebrating is the person in [Image 1], in every frame: copy the exact face from [Image 1] (the face shape, eye color and eye shape, eyebrows, nose, mouth, skin tone, age, hair color, hair length and hairstyle, and any beard, moustache, glasses or freckles), the same build, and the clothes from [Image 1]: their own everyday clothes, never a football kit or a jersey. The person is an adult. The same face from the first frame to the last, so their friends recognize them at once, also in the slow-motion close-ups. Never morph. If [Image 1] shows an animal, the one celebrating is that animal standing upright on its hind legs, with its own face, fur and markings, not a person. The place: a huge covered football stadium packed with fans at night, bright floodlights, a green pitch with white lines, a white goal with a net, plain advertising boards with no words. A few generic adult players in plain dark blue kits with no badges, no numbers and no logos stay far away and out of focus in the background. 0-2 s, in full color: the person jogs away from the goal along the touchline, then walks on in profile with one hand raised to the forehead in a proud salute, chin up, cheeks puffed out. 2-5 s, a cut to high-contrast black and white, in slow motion: a close shot from a low angle in front, from the chest up. The person faces the camera, puts both hands behind the ears with the palms cupped forward, as if asking the crowd to be louder, puffs out the cheeks and pushes the lips forward. The camera slowly pushes in; the face is large and sharp: exactly the face from [Image 1]. 5-8 s, still in black and white and slow motion: the person tips the head back and looks up at the roaring stands with a proud, cocky stare, mouth a little open, hands still cupped behind the ears, then lowers one hand while the camera slowly circles around them. Audio: the roar of a packed stadium crowd that swells when the hands go behind the ears, and one deep drum hit on the cut to black and white. No commentary, no music with words. Exactly one person celebrates. No score graphic, no scoreboard, no TV channel logo, no flags, no national team or club kits, no crests, no sponsor names, no captions, no watermark. No famous athlete: every player and every fan is a generic adult. Anatomy rules: one head, two arms, two hands with five fingers each; the hands touch the head behind the ears and never merge with the ears, the hair or the face.

What happens in the Topo Gigio celebration clip?

Your clip follows the beats of the viral AI clips, in 8 seconds:

SecondsWhat happens
0 to 2In full color, you jog away from the goal along the touchline, then walk on in profile with one hand raised to your forehead in a proud salute, cheeks puffed out.
2 to 5Cut to black-and-white slow motion, a low close shot from the front: you cup both hands behind your ears, puff out your cheeks and push your lips forward while the camera pushes in.
5 to 8You tip your head back and look up at the roaring stands with a proud stare, hands still behind your ears, while the camera circles you.

The clip is vertical (9:16), 720p, with the roar of the crowd and a deep drum hit on the cut. It has no music, so you can add the trend's sound when you post. The stadium is generic: no national team or club kits, no crests, no score graphic, no TV channel logo and no real players.

How it is made. Seedance 2.5, ByteDance's newest video model, makes the clip straight from your photo with no in-between picture, so your face stays close to the photo. You write no prompt. The exact price shows on the Generate button before you spend anything, and if a run fails, the credits come back.

Why not the real match clip?

The viral AI versions start from the TV footage of the semi-final: the real players around the scorer, their national team kits, the score graphic and the stadium boards all stay in, and most of them put a celebrity or a TV character in the scorer's place. The example on this page is that first viral clip by @ns7films, cut to the celebration and cropped so the score graphic stays out; it shows the look of the trend, not a MakeViral result. MakeViral does not copy that footage. Your clip is a new scene with the same moves and the same black-and-white slow-motion look, in a generic stadium, with you as the only star. It works as an AI football video, or an AI soccer video, for anyone: an AI goal celebration video with nobody's face but yours in it.

How to post the Topo Gigio trend

Who should do it. The joke is an everyday person doing a World Cup celebration: you in your office clothes, your dad after a five-a-side goal, a friend who won an argument, or you after a small win ("when the group chat finally agrees with me").

Sound. Most AI clips of the trend use the sound "original sound - NS7" from the first viral clip; on 16 October 2026 it was on 471 TikTok videos. Pick it, or any sound you like, in the TikTok editor. The music belongs to its owners, so check the rules before you use the clip in an ad.

Hashtags. #topogigiotrend (685 videos on 16 October 2026) and #enzofernandezaitutorial (676) carry the trend; #topogigio and #enzofernandez are the big tags. Keep the platform's AI label on.

FAQ

Topo Gigio Celebration trend questions

What is the Topo Gigio celebration meaning?
Both hands cupped behind the ears means "I can't hear you, louder": a player says it to the crowd, or to critics, after a goal. The name comes from Topo Gigio, the puppet mouse with big ears. The Enzo Fernandez celebration meaning is the same: Enzo Fernández did it after his equaliser against England.
What was the Enzo celebration vs England?
On 15 July 2026 Enzo Fernández scored Argentina's 85th-minute equaliser in the World Cup semi-final against England in Atlanta. He put his hands behind his ears, puffed out his cheeks and pushed his lips forward as if to blow a kiss to the stands. Argentina won 2-1, and videos with the Enzo Fernandez celebration explained frame by frame spread on social media.
Is it the same as the Riquelme celebration?
Yes. Juan Román Riquelme first did the Topo Gigio celebration for Boca Juniors against River Plate on 8 April 2001, and it became his trademark. That derby is the origin of the Topo Gigio celebration. Lionel Messi did it against the Netherlands at the 2022 World Cup, and Enzo Fernández did it against England in 2026.
What is the Topo Gigio AI trend?
An October 2026 trend, also shared as the Enzo Fernández AI meme, where AI puts someone else into the celebration: a TV character, a singer, a friend or yourself. It started with an AI clip on 12 October 2026 and spread with CapCut templates under #topogigiotrend. On MakeViral you make it from one photo of you.
How do I make the Enzo Fernandez celebration AI video?
Press "Create your own", add one clear photo of you, and press Generate. The button shows the price first. You get an 8-second vertical clip in a packed stadium, with crowd sound, and you write no prompt. It waits in your Library when it is ready.
Do I need the CapCut template for the Topo Gigio trend?
No. Most Enzo Fernandez celebration AI tutorial videos send you to a CapCut template that copies the real match footage. Here you add one photo and get the finished clip, made as a new scene with you as the only star, ready to post.
Is there a Topo Gigio trend tutorial on TikTok?
Yes, hundreds: on TikTok the Topo Gigio trend tutorial videos show how to copy a template link into CapCut and add a photo. Here you skip those steps: one photo, one button.
What does festejo Topo Gigio mean?
It is the Spanish name: a festejo de gol is a goal celebration, so the festejo Topo Gigio is the Topo Gigio celebration. Its significado is "I can't hear you, louder". Add the name Enzo Fernández and you find his 2026 goal against England.
Can I put a footballer or a celebrity in the clip?
No. Many viral versions use famous faces, but a fake clip of a real person can break platform rules and that person's rights. Use your own photo, or one of an adult friend who said yes.
Is there an Enzo Fernandez celebration GIF or meme version?
Your clip is 8 seconds, so you can post it as a short meme video or trim it into a GIF with any GIF tool. The 2 to 5 second part, hands behind the ears in slow motion, is the moment people loop.
Can my dog or cat do the Topo Gigio celebration?
