Ivo Kestler's gesture was a heartfelt tribute to the beloved club cat, who was described as one of the 'guardians' of the Julio Humberto Grondona stadium. The player even has a photo with Tatú in the locker room, showcasing his close bond with the feline. Kestler's teammates were also seen celebrating with him after the goal, with the player then covering his right eye with his hand in homage to Tatú, who was missing that eye.
The gesture has resonated with fans and the public, with Kestler's Instagram post about the celebration receiving numerous comments. The player's love for animals is evident, as he has four dogs and his girlfriend has six cats. He even adopted Misha, Tatú's companion, whom he affectionately called Tito.
