Arsenal midfielder Mesut Özil did an unexpected thing during Arsenal’s Europa League game with Atletico Madrid, reported IlmFeed.
As he was preparing to take a corner, fans from the opposing team threw pieces of bread at him.
Instead of kicking the piece of bread away, he picked it up, kissed it and placed it on his forehead as a sign of respect for food before placing it on the side.
FANS EXPLAINED OZIL’S ACTION:
Hadi Karim said he did it because he is a Muslim and Islam discourages wasting food and encourages people to be grateful for food as it is a blessing from God.
