Talisca scored 20 goals for Benfica over the last two years, but when it came time for this season, the Portuguese club decided they didn't really want him so they sent him on loan to Besiktas.
Fortunately for us, and a vengeful Talisca, the Champions League draw put Benfica and Besiktas together in their first match of the group stage. And when Besiktas needed a late equalizer on a 20-yard free kick, Talisca was happy to oblige.
So that whole thing about not celebrating against your former team (or in this case the team that owns your contract)* clearly didn't matter to Talisca. He celebrated like a mad man, not just because he scored a late equalizer, but because he punished the team that didn't want him anymore. You're damn right that's a great reason to celebrate.
That the world put these two teams together and then offered Talisca the free kick to rub it in Benfica's face is a sign that this was meant to be. And that the world is a good place.
Shine, Taslisca, shine. Be petty as all hell.
*Which is terrible and awful anyway because everyone should take every chance to celebrate that they're offered.
