Dembele's Jota Tribute: Frenchman's Goal Celebration Sparks Global Reaction

The shocking news of the passing of Liverpool star Diogo Jota has shaken the football world.

The Portuguese star was laid to rest on Saturday, with family, friends and players attending the funeral.

Dembele scored for PSG in their Club World Cup semi-final victory over Bayern Munich, choosing to celebrate in the same way Liverpool's Jota did before his tragic death on holiday in Spain.

With Bayern down to nine men, following the play where he hit the crossbar, the Frenchman had another opportunity, and this time the Germans had no answer.

Dembele sat down on the pitch, cross-legged, mimicking playing a PlayStation controller with his hands, as reported by Sportal.

This was a gesture Jota often used in his goal celebrations, and Dembele's tribute has sparked reactions worldwide.

PSG defeated Bayern 2-0 and will face the winner of Real Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund in the Club World Cup semi-final.
