“My celebration was for the little boy Nouri.” Boateng told the Bundesliga's official website.
“We all know what happened to him and I wanted to just show them that we pray for him and we pray for the family.
“He was an outstanding football player. This is a tragedy, and I want his family to know that I pray for him.
“I'll wear the shirt under my jersey all season.”
