Spanish-born Ghanaian winger, Nico Williams, has once again showcased his talent on the grand stage, this time during the Euro 2024 final against England. The player, who had already impressed throughout the tournament and had a stellar season in Germany, proved himself to be a force to be reckoned with.
It was Williams who played a crucial role in scoring the opening goal of the final with a stunning effort that started from the right wing and ended in a spectacular finish. However, what stole the show was his unique celebration. Alongside teammate Lamine Yamal, Williams broke into a small dance before striking a pose for the camera – a gesture reminiscent of Brazilian superstar Neymar’s signature celebration.
After the match, Williams revealed that Neymar was his childhood idol, stating, “Neymar is one of my idols. I admired him as a kid.” Despite his admiration for the Brazilian star, Williams made it clear that he aims to carve out his own path to success, staying true to his athletic roots and the values of his club, Athletic.
“I hope to achieve what he has, but in my own way, a more low-key way,” Williams said following Spain’s victory in the Euro 2024 final. With his talent, determination, and humility, it’s clear that Nico Williams is a player destined for greatness in the world of football.
