Top 10 Most Toxic Celebrations on FC 25

10. Tea

Nothing feels worse than sipping tea after you just destroyed someone's defense. The "Tea" celebration signifies offhandedness. This celebration is passive-aggressive and is super annoying when you're on the receiving end of it. It's predominantly shared between pro players during casual friendlies, as well as FIFA content creators like Castro1021 and IShowSpeed.

• How to Perform: Hold L2 (LT) and flick the right stick to the right, then the left.

9. Gamer

The "Gamer" celebration is a cheeky acknowledgement of the player community. After the goal is scored, your virtual footballer pretends he's holding a game controller, implying you are completely in control, and possibly your opponent is an NPC. It's a fourth-wall break that can amuse or make people righteous rage. FIFA Twitch streamer Danny Aarons likes to spam this particular celebration in his Road to Glory videos.

• How to Perform: Hold R1 (RB) and flick the right stick to the right, then the left.

8. Slide and Flex

For all you showboaters, "Slide and Flex" is the celebration for you. After sliding around on the turf, your player flexes their muscles as if they just conquered the world. It's theatrical, it’s flashy, it’s a show of dominance. It’s dramatic and the best way to show your dominance. We all know that Erling Haaland likes to flex after he scores a goal IRL, and this celebration brings that same vibe to the game with the animation.

• How to Perform: Hold R1 (RB) and hold the right stick down.

7. Chicken Dance

Part funny, part embarrassing, "Chicken Dance" is all about making your opponent feel stupid that they just got scored on. Your player flaps their arms and waggles around like a cartoon chicken. This is ridiculous, yes! However, that is the beautiful combination of humor and mockery. There is even a YouTube video from Bateson87, where he used this after scoring a last-minute goal in the Weekend League, which caused his opponent to instantly rage quit.

• How to Perform: Hold L1 (LB) and flick the right stick right, then left.

6. Boxing

Are you ready to throw some hands? The “Boxing” celebration features two players squaring up in a fake boxing match. It is going to be more aggressive than technical; the point is to emphasize you mean business and you are winning the fight. Real-life players like Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Memphis Depay have celebrated in boxing poses, and now it is in the game for added toxicity.

• How to Perform: Hold R1 (RB) and double tap Triangle (Y).

5. Timber

The “Timber” celebration is one of the most annoying and exaggerated celebrations in FC 25, as your player limps like a drunk before going down like they have been pummelled; all due respect to their own brilliance - it is pure trollage. It hasn’t translated well to real football, i.e., it is not used a lot, but there is a viral nature of the celebration among creators as companies such as NepentheZ and Hashtag Harry use it to troll bad defending and slide-tackles when mistimed.

• How to Perform: Hold L2 (LT) and double tap Circle (B).

4. Cry (Mbappé Exclusive)

Kylian Mbappé’s “Cry” celebration is both brutal and iconic. After finding the back of the net, he will taunt opponents by fake crying like a baby and rubbing his eyes with both of his fists. It's utterly humiliating, and it works perfectly in high-stakes matches. It wouldn't be a stretch to say punctuating nearly any goal with this performance is a waste of pure emotion since the stakes are so high. Mbappé was known to do this celebration IRL in PSG matches, and his digital version is no different.

• How to Perform: After scoring, when controlling Mbappé, sprint towards the camera and press X (A).

3. Swagger

You want to get your opponent furious? Use "Swagger." Your player is confidently walking with a strut (head high, chest puffed, dripping with smugness). This is a celebration that absolutely defines swagger and is trying to say, "You can't touch me". There's no one player to attribute this celebration to, but the overall swaggering vibe is definitely reminiscent of the Ibrahimovićs of the world who swagger irrespective of respect shown on the football pitch.

• How to Perform: Hold R1 (RB) and double tap Circle (B).

2. Pigeon

“Pigeon” sounds innocent enough, but is unbelievably effective. Your player mimics their head bobbing movement like a pigeon, looking entirely ridiculous while celebrating. That’s the overall crux of the ‘Pigeon’ – your defender just was embarrassed by you, and is now watching you celebrate like a pigeon. If you follow some of the FIFA content on TikTok and Reels, you may have noticed it in some of the funniest videos, and even in the eChampions League by a professional player to elicit a reaction

• How to Perform: Hold R1 (RB) and press R3 (press right stick in).

1. Most Toxic (Vinícius Jr. Exclusive)

As the toxic king of FC 25, Vinícius Jr. has an exclusive “Most Toxic” celebration (for good reason). After scoring, Vinícius Jr. performs an explicit gesture, pointing downward for an obviously provocative and taunting nature. This has been such a YouTube favourite for FC content creators, as it doesn’t get more lived-out visual expression of audacious behaviour. Viní Jr. has even done this attitude on the real pitch, so it is both accurate and infuriating.

• How to Perform: After scoring with Vinícius Jr., run toward the corner flag and press X (A).
