In the 49th minute of the match between MU and West Ham, Alejandro Garnacho shined with a goal to increase the score to 2-0 for the “Red Devils”. Immediately, the young Argentinian star ran to the corner of the field, sitting with his arms crossed on the billboard with a proud look on his face.
In the 84th minute, fans continued to witness Garnacho repeat this celebration when scoring the final score 3-0 and completing his own double. It’s easy to recognize that this is the famous celebration performed by Cristiano Ronaldo in the Real Madrid shirt in 2017.
Garnacho worked side by side with Ronaldo at MU in the 2021-2022 period, and has never hidden his admiration for CR7 and many times imitated the Portuguese superstar’s way of celebrating. More interestingly, the 19-year-old player is currently a teammate of Lionel Messi in the Argentina national team.
Angel Di Maria, who worked side by side with Ronaldo (in Real Madrid) and Messi (Argentina), warned his juniors not to imitate CR7’s way of celebrating. Instead, Di Maria wants Garnacho to study with his close friend Messi. “The only thing I don’t do is celebrate like Cristiano. I score and will celebrate like Messi. I am always steadfast with that,” Di Maria declared in Ole newspaper not long ago.
However, Garnacho did not seem to care much about Di Maria’s warning as he continued to celebrate in the style of his “idol” Ronaldo.
