One of the biggest moments of the night for Real Madrid came seconds after their third goal against PSG, and such an iconic goal required an iconic celebration.
Karim Benzema was ecstatic for getting his third goal of the evening against PSG capping an epic comeback, but some of his spotlight was stolen for a minute by none other than David Alaba, who ended up becoming a trending topic for his curious celebration holding a chair up in the air.

Some believe that Alaba's gesture was prompted out of an adrenaline burst, but the image was so iconic that even the footballer posted an angle of the picture with a catchy phrase to emphasize his actions.

It is yet unclear who Alaba was asking "not" to sit in his chair, but his antics prompted all sorts of reactions from fans, experts, and colleagues, such as his former teammate Jerome Boateng.
