Bonfils-Caleb explains himself
Quoted on the Chiefs website, Bimenyimana explained that his celebrations come from a special place in his heart, with the first celebration showcasing his hunger to score.
Here's what the Burundian baller had to say:
"My first goal celebration was the 'black panther.' I have been doing it since I was young with my brother, who plays in Turkey for Istanbul Baseksahir.
"Even for the second one it was for him because in the morning I talked to him on the phone and he told me, 'Today, you're going to score and you know what to do.' When I scored the first, I almost forgot to do it," he said.
