Sweden U21s Celebrate Title with Call-Back to Cocky French Star Who Mocked Them

You might remember a story we brought you last October, when French under-21 star Layvin Kurzawa had to swallow a bad case of karma. 

From that report: 

"

The Monaco full-back scored a late goal against Sweden in the European Championship play-off. The goal looked to have qualified France for the tournament on away goals.

After scoring his goal, Kurzawa decided it would be a good idea to do his celebration, a sort of army salute, right in the faces of some of the Sweden players.

However, Sweden scored at the other end just a minute later, and goalscorer John Guidetti, one of the men who had to suffer Kurzawa's hand in his face, could think of only one way to celebrate.

"

Little did we know at the time, but that was only the start of Sweden's fairy-tale campaign.

On Tuesday night, they upset heavy favourites Portugal on penalties to complete a Cinderella run to the championship. 

There was, of course, only one way to celebrate. 

We wonder if Kurzawa was watching.
