See Reason Why Wijnaldum Refused To Drink During CL Final Celebrations

The Reds midfielder had his fun at the post-final celebrations - but he was refusing to overdo it


Liverpool's Champions League celebrations were boozy affairs.

From Jurgen Klopp pouring out beer on to the head of Rhian Brewster to Virgil van Dijk sinking a cold one at the post-match press conference, the Reds' contingent made sure they celebrated a sixth European Cup in style.

In fact, Liverpool's desire to party was so strong, Klopp was caught on camera boldly asking: "where is the drinks!?" as he prepared to mark his first Champions League triumph as a manager.

The fun reportedly continued long into the Madrid night as the Reds squad partied at The Eurostars Madrid Tower in the Spanish capital before returning to Merseyside.

And after a 97-point Premier League season ended with the lifting of the biggest prize in club football on Saturday night, who could blame Liverpool 's players for savouring the moment?

Almost to a man, the Reds squad made sure they toasted their achievement as more than 750,000 supporters lined the city streets to cheer on their heroes' homecoming on Sunday afternoon.

However, one player who was refusing to indulge too much was midfielder Gini Wijnaldum.

The Dutch international had his fun atop the bus on Sunday, dropping his phone while attempting to record the sea of red in front of him, much to his own amusement.

Wijnaldum though, was unwilling to let his hair down completely ahead of the Nations League semi-final with England on Thursday night.

While his international colleague Van Dijk was keen to savour a beer or two during the party, Wijnaldum was firmly focused on the clash against Gareth Southgate's Three Lions in Portugal.

AD quote Wijnaldum as saying: "Alcohol is for the holidays, not now. The Nations League is just a great prize to win."

Very sensible, Gini...

Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum

Wijnaldum will set off on his post-season holidays when the Nations League concludes on Sunday evening.

That well-deserved break will afford him plenty of time to celebrate.

SHOCKING!!! Ogboni Leader Lists Popular Members Says Members Attend Churches, Mosques

A seasoned administrator and chartered accountant, Francis Oluwagbenro Meshioye, the Olori Oluwo (Supreme Leader) of the Reformed Ogboni Fraternity has said being a member does not stop members from practising religions of their choice. In an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, he explained the fraternity takes its roots from Nigerian culture. On the negative perception of the group and what attracted him, Meshioye said: “I wanted to understand my culture, to know why I am here. Why was I not born in India as a Hindu or in China to embrace their culture and religion? This made me to begin to look within myself to know who I am and I extended this to what I have within my area. I am a firm believer in the Yoruba saying, ‘Animo ni peregun laso’ meaning you add to whatever you have.

Air Peace De-board Passenger For Asking Attendant To Translate Safety Instructions To Igbo Because 'He Does Not Speak English'

Iwarah declared that his de-boarding was necessary in a bid to guarantee the safety of its crew and customers and said it would not tolerate an act that would jeopardise safety on any of its flights. A passenger with Air Peace was today de-boarded by the airline over claims that he could not communicate in English during safety briefing. The passenger identified as Mr. Christopher Aniagboso told the cabin crew to translate the safety briefing for passengers in the over-wing exit seats in Igbo language and not English as is the standard. The airline in a statement by its spokesman, Mr. Chris Iwarah, said that other passengers around him offered to translate what was being said in English to him, but he insisted that the crew must brief him in Igbo language. Besides, Iwarah said that efforts to relocate the unruly passenger from his seat to the other proved abortive despite the intervention of the cockpit crew. He, however, said that the passenger who had earlier on May
