André Pierre Gignac meets tiger named after him

Tigres' forward, André Pierre Gignac, announced on his Twitter account that he has met the Bengal tiger named after him.

The name of the feline was chosen by several children, who decided it should be called after the French player; that's why Gignac decided to visit La Pastora park to meet his namesake.

"I have already met my namesake 'GIGNAC', thanks to the children who voted for my name, thanks to La Pastora park for the invitation, magical afternoon," wrote the feline forward.
