Viktor Gyokeres and his iconic celebration
However, the contribution of the striker did not end in scores. Gyokeres inaugurated his goal with his customary, face defining maneuver, the mask. In his second, he went even further and ran his fingers through his hair in front of the camera as a retort to the negative comments on his hair flicks at Manchester United as well as also lacking a good involvement in the first game. Gyokeres was later asked after the game whether it was intended as a jibe at those who complain and responded “Yeah it might be”. The fans reacted to this instantly, eagerly praising his subversive humour, one said he must be a person who is chronically online, another called him Ballon d’Or Hair.
