Former Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo recently won the internet with his mood after his side won the Copa de la Liga title with Boca Juniors.

Rojo, who ended his spell in Europe by making a return to Argentina, decided to show his gangster side as he was seen smoking and drinking a can of beer on the pitch after the victory.

On the final day of the Argentine Primera Division, Boca Juniors secured a 3-0 win over Tigre at La Bombonera to win the club’s 50th domestic trophy.

It was Rojo who opened the scoring for his side with a header in the first half, and his teammates Frank Fabra and Luis Vasquez sealed the win.

After the game, Rojo was seen enjoying what looked like a cigar and a can of beer right on the pitch, and the images have gone viral on social media.

Rojo is clearly having the time of his life in his native Argentina, where he relocated after his spell at Manchester United came to an end in 2020.

He initially returned to his boyhood club Estudiantes before eventually signing for Argentine giants Boca Juniors.

Meanwhile, Boca Juniors' triumph means they automatically qualify for next season’s Copa Libertadores.

Zlatan steals show during AC Milan’s Serie A celebrations

In Italy, there were similar celebrations to that of Marcos Rojo, with veteran striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic stealing the show with cigars.

Ibrahimovic made the most of the title celebrations as he emerged with a bottle of bubbly in one hand and a cigar in the other.

The 40-year-old has continued to prove that age is nothing but a number as he was instrumental to AC Milan’s Scudetto glory at the just-concluded season.
