Ghana star Bukari speaks on disrespecting Ronaldo with goal celebration

Ghana footballer Osman Bukari scored his team’s second goal in the 3-2 defeat to Portugal at the World Cup in Qatar. He marked the goal by doing Ronaldo's ‘si’ celebration.

Osman Bukari wrote on social media afterwards: “I have noticed my celebration today has generated comments claiming I was disrespectful towards Cristiano Ronaldo. This is incorrect. I was overcome by the emotion of the moment of scoring for my country on my World Cup debut leading to my celebration.

“My upbringing doesn’t permit me to be disrespectful to elders let alone one of my idols. Thanks for your support and we focus on our next game!”

Portugal will resume their World Cup campaign on Monday when they take on Uruguay at the Lusail Stadium. Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot are the Reds to keen an eye on.

Ghana, who are bottom of Group H, will also be in action on Monday in their clash with South Korea at the Education City Stadium.
