Liverpool Superstar Cody Gakpo is set to be BANNED after what he did against Tottenham Hotspur I can’t believe FIFA wants to ban him because of this 😭😭😱 Football is finished 😳💔
Cody Gakpo May Face Disciplinary Action After Tottenham Clash
Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo could be in hot water following his goal celebration during the Reds’ 5-1 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield — a result that clinched the club’s 20th league title.
After scoring the team’s third goal, Gakpo pulled off his jersey to reveal an undershirt with the message “I Belong to Jesus.” Referee Thomas Bramall immediately handed him a yellow card, as dictated by football regulations regarding the removal of shirts during celebrations.
Potential Violation of FA Rules
However, the celebration might go beyond just a caution. According to The Telegraph, Gakpo’s display could breach Law 4 of the FA rulebook, which prohibits players from showing political, religious, or personal messages on their undergarments. Such actions may prompt further sanctions from the Football Association, competition authorities, or even FIFA.
A Celebration Under Scrutiny
Despite the technical breach, many supporters and football analysts argue that penalizing Gakpo for a sincere and uplifting message seems overly harsh, particularly when more severe offenses often escape punishment.
Any disciplinary measure — whether a fine or suspension — would have little bearing on Liverpool’s remaining season since they’ve already sealed the title. Still, the situation has sparked conversation about the balance between regulation and personal expression in the modern game.
