Fifa World Cup: Michy Batshuayi botches Belgium goal celebration and almost breaks the internet
‘Stupid’ Belgium striker Michy Batshuayi sees the funny side as social media giggles at his spectacular celebration screw up against England
Michy Batshuayi’s celebration after Belgium’s goal at the World Cup has drawn plenty of laughs online.
The Borussia Dortmund striker scooped up the ball after Adnan Januzaj scored on Thursday in a 1-0 victory over England and kicked it hard – probably aiming for the net. Instead, it hit the post and rebounded onto his face.
He did not appear to be injured, though his pride may have been hurt.
Videos of the second-half celebration were circulating online within minutes and were shared widely.
Batshuayi quickly took ownership of his gaffe.
“Why am I so stupid bro,” he wrote on Twitter, along with a long line of emojis and some expletives.
