A beautiful gesture from a Pole after a goal in the Champions League. In the background is the death of a child

On Wednesday evening, until 9 p.m., players from the local VfB team and the visiting team from Switzerland, Young Boys, ran onto the pitch in Stuttgart. Łukasz Łakomy appeared on the pitch for the guests from the first minute.

Łukasz Łakomy’s goal in the Champions League. A beautiful gesture from a Pole

The 23-year-old midfielder is becoming more and more confident in the team participating in elite competitions. For now, this is not enough to be selected by the coach of the Polish national team. However, regardless of Michał Probierz’s choices, Łakomy is doing his own thing, increasingly marking his presence on European pitches.

The Pole started the match in Stuttgart in a great way, with the opening goal. Łakomy scored from outside the penalty area with a nice shot that the German team’s goalkeeper couldn’t do anything about. It was the sixth minute of the first half of the match in Stuttgart.

After hitting the net, the Pole took the shirt of his teammate, who could not play in the match in Stuttgart. Meschack Elia received tragic news about the death of his son on Tuesday. The representative of the Democratic Republic of the Congo left the team and went to Bern.

Łakomy’s beautiful gesture quickly spread across social media.

In such a difficult moment, solidarity with a teammate is obvious. But it is certainly worth emphasizing how classy the tragedy was handled not only by the Swiss team, but also in organizing the match in Stuttgart as a whole. Wednesday’s meeting was preceded by a minute of silence. Additionally, the entire team also wore black ribbons on their match uniforms as a gesture of support for the footballer mired in a family tragedy.

Without a doubt, this is a particularly difficult match for the entire organization of the Swiss club. As for the extent of Meschack Elia’s own tragedy, there are undoubtedly no words that could add to it.
