Nathan Ake of Manchester City disclosed on Thursday that his father passed away minutes after he scored his first Champions League goal.
In Wednesday's 6-3 thumping of RB Leipzig, Ake scored in the 16th minute.
However, the 26-year-joy old's was short-lived as his father Moise died shortly after, despite the fact that he was considered to be suffering from a terminal illness.
"The past few weeks have been the toughest of my life, my dad has been very ill and there was no more treatment possible," Ake wrote on Instagram.
"Yesterday after a difficult time I scored my first Champions League goal, and only a few minutes after he passed away peacefully with my mum and brother by his side.
"Maybe it was meant to be, watching me play always made him proud and happy. I know you're always with me, you will always be in my heart and this one was for you dad."
