Quick question, do you watch football? If the answer is no, let's still proceed. Do you think footballer Lionel Messi is a G.O.A.T? If the answer is no, thank you, if the answer is yes, let's proceed. Do you know who Divock Origi is, do you know that he stripped Messi off his GOAT status? Don't lie to yourself, you know you want to fight me right now. Here's everything you need to know.
Liverpool played Barcelona on Tuesday for the Champions League semi-finals and they scored a whole 4-0 against the giant team. How lucky right? Nope, for Liverpool, fourth time is a charm. Divock came in as a substitute and pulled off what we'd call a 'miracle' and sealed Barca's fate.
We're happy because not only is Origi a talented player but because he's Kenyan, hello!? Okay, he's Belgian by citizenship but Kenyan by blood. He is the son fo former Kenyan footballer Michael Okoth who was born in Belgium. Of course Kenyans love football and they saw all of this. The excitement was far greater than I'm trying to put it.
But who knows, I'm probably a Barca fan. Here are some of the reactions from Kenyans.
