Gervinho Memes Take over After Ivory Coast's Penalty Win at AFCON 2015
February 9, 2015
Gervinho didn't take a penalty in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations final, but the Ivory Coast star's reaction to the drama became a meme nonetheless.

The Ivorian could not watch after he was substituted in the final minute of extra time, and after Ivory Coast slipped 2-0 down after two rounds of spot-kicks, it was easy to see why.
But the team somehow came back to triumph over Ghana 9-8 to win the tournament, and Gervinho was immortalised by Photoshoppers:
