Fans can clearly see Garnacho wearing an Al Nassr shirt, on the back of the shirt is the number 7 of the same name of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Everyone knows that Garnacho is a crazy fan of Ronaldo
And of course, as a football fan, everyone knows Garnacho is Argentine. Argentines worship Lionel Messi as a saint, especially after Messi led Argentina to the 2022 World Cup championship as captain. Now, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have taken different directions towards the end of their careers. Ronaldo joined Al Nassr to play in the Saudi Arabia league. Half a year later, Messi went to the American professional football tournament – MLS to play for Inter Miami. Messi and Ronaldo themselves are considered the two best players in contemporary football and the two have competed in every title for more than a decade.
Garnacho idolizes Ronaldo will certainly lead to the wrath of Argentine fans
Therefore, the fact that Garnacho idolizes Ronaldo openly and everywhere, instead of Messi will certainly lead to the wrath of Argentine fans. That is also the reason why fans call Garnacho “the bravest man in Argentina”. Many fans were quick to take to social media to react and make their comments after Garnacho’s public clip. One person tweeted: “Every great kid’s idol is Cristiano Ronaldo, this is why Garnacho is destined for greatness.” Another added: “Argentina’s bravest man is this man Garnacho”.
Another fan said: “Garnacho with Ronaldo’s shirt at Al Nassr. He’s such a fanboy.” Meanwhile, another commented: “Garnacho doesn’t hide who his GOAT is.” Garnacho did not hide his love for Ronaldo in the past. After playing with Ronaldo at MU in the Europa League last season, Argentinian winger Garnacho shared a photo with Ronaldo and wrote: “I don’t know if it’s real or I’m dreaming.”
Garnacho, 19, is even said to have inherited the legendary number 7 shirt left by Ronaldo
However, in the past, Garnacho has also imitated many of Lionel Messi’s actions, including after scoring the winning goal for MU against Fulham last season. Garnacho played alongside Messi on his Argentina national team debut last month. It was a friendly match that Argentina won 2-0.
As for Cristiano Ronaldo, Garnacho had 6 times with the 38-year-old Portuguese star before CR7 left Old Trafford. Garnacho, 19, is even said to have inherited the legendary number 7 shirt left by Ronaldo after leaving MU. However, recently, coach Erik Ten Hag officially handed the iconic No. 7 shirt of the Old Trafford team to rookie Mason Mount. The 24-year-old English midfielder has just joined MU from Chelsea for a transfer fee of up to £ 60 million.
