“I’m sorry Kobs, I cannot hand it [the celebration] over to him. When he scored, I was celebrating so much that I didn’t see him doing it live. I was somewhere jumping on my left leg and pushing Matta [Matthijs de Ligt], grabbing him by the neck or whatever.
“So I saw it after the game, he showed me and said: ‘Hey man, did you see what I did?’ I said: ‘Yeah man, you scored a great goal, nice.’
“He said: ‘No, did you see the celebration?’ And I saw the picture I was like: ‘That looks better than any other picture I had doing that celebration!’
“It was a great moment, I felt honoured.”
