Despite the Bundesliga introducing a new law to discourage players from celebrating goals by donning masks only last week, Hertha Berlin’s Anis Ben-Hatira defied the threat of a mandatory yellow card to celebrate in a Spider-Man mask after netting his side’s first goal against Schalke at the weekend. You see, five months ago the midfielder was introduced to eight-year-old Jannik, a young Hertha fan who has been battling Leukaemia in the hospital.
Nice gesture from Ben Hatria, I'm sure it made that little boy's day.
Shouldn't be penalised for this. Actions like this can have a very positive outcome.
