Mike Kearney helps us understand the meaning of the game.
Fans celebrate after watching a goal scored by their favorite team. Mike Kearney does the same. The visually-challenged fan is a huge Liverpool supporter, and his enthusiasm for the team was on public display recently.
During the last round of Group Stage matches of Champions League, Liverpool played Napoli. The game turned out to be pivotal, enabling the Reds to proceed to the Round of 16 thanks to Salah’s goal in the 34th minute.
When Salah netted the ball past Napoli goalkeeper, David Ospina, Kearney was in the stands with his cousin. After the score, Mike’s cousin whispered in his ears to brief him on what had just happened.
The video of that exchange went viral. In the clip below, listen to Kearney’s interpretation of the experience.
Yes, soccer is more than a sport. It’s a life experience.
