Bundesliga: unusual Corona goal celebration - maybe an advantage?

There are quite a few of them in the Bundesliga . In Corona times, there must be particularly creative variants when celebrating goals, after all, the reactions to goal scoring that we celebrated half a year ago are no longer allowed. 

Maybe not too bad if you keep your distance and are a little more thrilled. Because: such a goal celebration can damn hurt ! Nicolai Müller knows that.

Bundesliga: goal celebration needs to be learned - strange injuries after the goal

The case of the former hamburger is probably the best known in recent history. Müller netted against FC Augsburg on the first day of the 2017/18 season , cheered exuberantly, turned, jumped into the air - and suddenly felt pain .

It later turned out that Nicolai Müller had actually torn the cruciate ligament - for every footballer that is exactly the nightmare injury par excellence. But when celebrating the goal ? It was unique. Müller was out for more than half a year, after which he had moderate success in Frankfurt and Hanover. He now plays for the Western Sydney Wanderers in Australia .

Goal celebrations in the Bundesliga: This can be dangerous

There are more stories like this from the Bundesliga . FC Augsburg again plays a role, but this time in a more active role. Dong-Won Ji scored in the 82nd minute 1-0 against FSV Mainz shortly after his substitution in September 2018

First goal, then injury: Dong-Won #Ji will be missing the #FCA for the next few weeks due to a capsule and inner ligament injury in the left knee. Get well! All information: https://t.co/kiLFySedZJ # M05FCA pic.twitter.com/BtzX2zfKr2

- FC Augsburg (@FCAugsburg) September 17, 2018

Then: jump in the air, pain, six weeks break. The striker sustained a capsule and inner ligament injury in the knee.

It is even more bizarre: goalkeeper legend Gabor Kiraly cheered the second goal of his Hertha 2004 against Hanover so excessively that he contracted a muscle fiber tear in the calf. Can't imagine - Kiraly was a substitute goalkeeper and jumped up from the bench.

Muscle fiber tear ? Dortmund coach Lucien Favre knows of course this injury. In the second round of the DFB Cup this season, however, he briefly forgot that he was in a pinch. When Julian Brandt scored 2-1 for BVB , Favre cheered instinctively - and shortly afterwards turned away with a face contorted with pain. 

Soon you can look forward to goals in the Bundesliga - hopefully without strange injuries
