Ozil knows the fans have become fond of his unique celebration, it was way back in February 2015 when he first broke out the cool move. With this, he again reiterated that he is a family man, one who puts family first. It has also been claimed that Mesut does the same celebration due to being superstitious in nature.
“It’s for my brother’s daughter – Mira, her name starts with a ‘M’ and she’s the first child from my brother and my first niece so she brought a lot of happiness to the family,” claims Mesut Ozil. The Gunners ace surely knows how to win the hearts of the fans with such a nice gesture. “I love her so much and I want to show her how much I love her so when I score a goal, I do this ‘M’ celebration,” he added. No wonder why millions consider Mesut Ozil as one of the messiahs of football.
