Paul Pogba first used his Dab celebration during his time at Juventus. After scoring a goal, Pogba performs the dab dance and it is a move that has caught up with his team mates too. Jesse Lingard was the first Manchester United star to do the dab dance after scoring in Manchester United's 3-3 draw with Newcastle in January 2016. Pogba has done the dab dance regularly after scoring for United, even though he does have other celebrations too.

Pogba's current team mate and long time friend Romelu Lukaku has also sported the dab during his Everton days. But Pogba's dab is the most famous of them all at the moment.

The Frenchman's latest goal celebration has caused quite a lot of controversy. Griezmann now celebrates his goals by doing the "Take the L" dance, which is inspired by the popular video game Fortnite. However, in the survival game, the celebration is used when a player kills his opponent. As such, the Frenchman has been accused by many football fans of calling his opponents a loser, direct in the face!

Never the less, it is one of the most popular celebrations in world football right now, even though not everyone has warmed up to it.
