Premier League Winners Liverpool Set To Be Punished by UK’s Football Association After Player Displays ‘I Belong to Jesus’ Shirt When Scoring a Goal in the Final Game
It’s not usual that we see a soccer player score two goals at once. And that’s just what happened in the British Premier League, in the match where champions Liverpool massacred Tottenham Hotspur by 5-1.
Dutch forward Cody Gakpo scored Liverpool’s third goal in the final match, and proceeded to reveal his undershirt with the words ‘I belong to Jesus’ were visible to millions watching the match around the world – and even greater ‘goal’.
Of course, the United Kingdom being as is, Liverpool is set to be reprimanded by the Football Association (FA) for Gakpo’s actions.
The Telegraph reported:
“Gakpo lifted his jersey to reveal the religious slogan upon making it 3-1 in the new champions’ 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
[…] Gakpo was shown a yellow card for removing his jersey but could face further action over the slogan on his sleeveless shirt.”
But fans remembered when Liverpool was defeated by these very same powerful words, back in 2007, when legendary Brazilian striker Kaká, an outspoken Christian faithful playing for Italy’s AC Milan, displayed this same shirt in the European Champions League final played in Athens.
