Top 10 Most Controversial Player Celebrations in Football
4. Reyes and Gallardo(The Nutcraker)
Some goal celebrations are easy to understand while others are very complicated or let me say are not understandable. The celebration known as the ‘nutcracker’ is literally nut cracking . During a game between Spanish sides Sevilla and Valladolid , Sevilla managed to win the game convincingly with a 4-0 full time scoreline.
One of these goals was scored by the Spaniard, Reyes and like any other goal he celebrated it and his team mates hugged him while he was sleeping on the turf but one of his team-mates Gallardo from mid field had something up his sleeves and instead of giving the goal scorer a hug a pat on the back or a word of praise, the midfielder went down put his head on the crotch of Reyes and bit the Spaniard genitals. This celebration was considered to be violating sporting dignity and Francisco Gallardo was fined and suspended . When Reyes was asked about the incident he said it didn’t hurt in only felt like a pinch.
