Cody Gakpo shows respect by refusing to celebrate goal against former club PSV

Cody Gakpo found the net for Liverpool on Wednesday night in the Uefa Champions League but opted not to celebrate after scoring against his former club, PSV.

Liverpool were awarded a penalty following Federico Chiesa’s efforts, and Gakpo stepped up to take the spot-kick despite facing whistles from the home crowd.

The Dutch forward remained composed and successfully converted the penalty but refrained from celebrating out of respect for his former team and its supporters.

In a moment of sportsmanship, the PSV fans—who had initially expressed their disapproval—acknowledged his gesture with applause after the goal.
