World Cup comedy: Batshuayi kicks the ball off a post into his face in goal celebration

Michy Batshuayi, Belgian striker for Borussia Dortmund, starred in the most comical moment so far at this year’s World Cup, replacing Iran’s Mohammadi “somersault” throw-in against Spain. The number 21 was celebrating teammate Januzaj’s goal when he picked up the ball and kicked it back at the goal only to have it ricochet off the post into his face.

In fact, the footballer himself joked about the incident via his Twitter account after the game claiming that “the Fortnite style celebration is overrated” and he wanted to “create something new.”


After his “celebration,” Batshuayi knew that his social media mentions would be going crazy and there would be lots of pictures of the incident. “I knew I was going to be fucked the minute I went on Twitter. How can I be so stupid, stuff like that really hurts,” he said via a tweet. Fortunately, the player has no major injuries.
