He revealed afterwards that he was amazed seeing Suarez’s goal and was delighted that he was able to achieve a similar feat, after keeping it in his mind and pondering over it for a week, in which time he admits the zeal and desire tol make his own mark kept burning higher within him.
Bonaventure added: “I had seen that super goal from Suarez with Barcelona last weekend. And I thought to myself, I should try that too. If that also succeeds, then you are naturally very happy . I really didn’t know if I was offside or not, but when the ref pointed to the center circle after the VAR intervened, I was naturally overjoyed.”
