The French striker, after catching the goal, made the “Free and Lokos” sign that identifies feline fans
Tigres and Bayern Munich will have a historic duel in the Club World Cup, as the Mexican team tries to be the first at CONCACAF to win the tournament, while the Germans go after the sextets, which is only done by Barcelona from Guardiola.
A duel that seems key is that of André-Pierre Gignac against goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who has already been seen before this duel, with his teams, and the French defeated the German, who even scored a goal.
In addition, after catching the gate, he made the “Free and Lokos” sign that identifies feline fans.
It was a friendly match organized in 2015, before the Eurocup, where France was local, in the middle of a rare climate, conditioned by a tragedy near the Saint Denis stadium, the place of the duel, where several explosions caused many deaths. .
André-Pierre Gignac, who came in to replace him, waited for the center and scored a superb header that covered the Teutonic goalkeeper for 2-0 in the 86th minute.
After the celebration clearly dedicated to Tigres fans, the player won the shouts “Gignac … Gignac … Gignac” from the fans who participated in the match at the Stade de France.
The Paris tragedy left the shock in the background, marked by the blackmail scandal with a sex video involving Mathieu Valbuena, as a victim, and Karim Benzema, accused of being an alleged accomplice.
Real Madrid striker Olivier Giroud’s replacement took advantage of the moment to take the central place and was tasked with scoring the first goal, before the end of the first half.
The Frenchman had just arrived in Mexico, in the 2015 Apertura, where he was already the sensation of the tournament due to the simplicity that characterizes it and because from the first moment he achieved goals.
Gignac, 29 at the time, had eleven touchdowns in 14 appearances in the MX League, where he had played all his games as a starter for a total of 1,216 minutes and three yellow cards.
Now, almost six years later, André-Pierre Gignac and Manuel Neuer will meet again in Qatar with the task of leading that team to the title of the Club World Cup.
