That goal is better than Rooney’s. He [Garnacho] I had my back to the goal, a little further away and at an angle… It was breathtaking, an unbelievable moment”praised.

Regarding Garnacho’s relationship with Messi, the former number 5 revealed that the eight-time best in the world stopped following the Argentine on social media due to his declared preference for Cristiano Ronaldo. “My colleague told me the other day that Messi stopped following him [a Garnacho]because he doesn’t want to know [e diz publicamente] who prefers Ronaldo. ‘Who is the GOAT? [sigla para Melhor de Todos os Tempos, em inglês] Ronaldo. Even when he is in the Argentine national team”, commented the Englishman. Alejandro’s passion for Robozão is so great that, when he scored the beautiful goal, he celebrated by imitating the iconic “Siii” from the former Manchester United number 7.
