Lionel Messi's International Teammate Copies Cristiano's Iconic Siiu Celebration After Scoring in Fa Cup Final

• Garnacho was the star of the show as Manchester United beat Nottingham Forest to clinch the FA Youth Cup
• The Spanish-born Argentinean scored twice, including a stunning individual goal on Wednesday night
• After giving his side the lead, Garnacho copied Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic Siiu goal celebration

Rising Argentine star Alejandro Garnacho recently went viral after performing Cristiano Ronalo’s iconic Siiu celebration after scoring in the FA Youth Cup final.

Prior to kick off, Garnacho was named Manchester United’s U18 Player of the Year, thanks to his stellar performances that saw him earn a place in the first team this season under Ralf Rangnick.

United, on Wednesday, May 11, beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 to clinch the trophy in front of a mammoth 67,492 crowd.

In an interesting encounter, Rhys Bennett headed Manchester United into the lead before Forrest levelled matters through Josh Powell.

Garnacho then restored his side’s lead from the penalty spot 12 minutes later, and his goal celebration was just as intense as his goal.

The young attacker proved to be a true fan of his senior teammate as he recreated the famous Siiu celebration flawlessly, running to the corner flan before jumping in a 360 degree angle to celebrate with his teammates.

And as expected, the celebration was met with massive applause from the crowd, including his family, who were left in tears.

Garnacho was not done for the night as he bagged his second goal with a stunning individual effort as he pounced onto a mistake to slot home with a left-footed strike.

The Spanish-born Argentinean only signed for United from Atletico Madrid in 2020 and is already proving to be a huge prospect for the club,

Ralf Rangnick recently gave the youngster a chance in the senior team as he featured in United’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea last month.

Incoming Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag is likely to consider Garnacho as a regular starter this season, as the Dutch manager has a history of grooming young talent.

Aguero’s message to Garnacho

Recently, Sergio Aguero took to social media to troll Alejandro Garnacho after the youngster expressed his admiration for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Garnacho, Messi’s international teammate, seemed to approve that Cristiano Ronaldo was the greatest ever player.

The comment obviously did not sit well with Aguero, a long-term friend of Lionel Messi, who is considered by a large number of fans as the greatest ever player.
