A celebration in the form of a tribute. Idrissa Gueye, who entered at half-time during the PSG outing (0-9) in Le Havre, scored the 6th goal by closely taking back the head of Thiago Silva pushed back on the line by a Havresian defender (48th). An "easy" goal that the Senegalese community nevertheless wanted to celebrate by delivering a particular message. He then put his knee on the ground and raised his fist in the air.
A gesture of support for the Black Lives Matter movement, as many footballers and sportsmen have done since the death of George Floyd, an African-American killed by a police officer in Minneapolis on May 25. Thursday, during the first match of the MLS recovery tournament, Thierry Henry, coach of the Montreal Impact, knelt for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the time during which George Floyd was kept on the ground by the police officer with his knee.
Idrissa Gueye is the first PSG player to celebrate a goal with this reference to the Black Lives Matter movement. At the beginning of June, Layvin Kurzawa had taken part in the rally organized by the collective for Adama Traoré.
