Alejandro Garnacho is trending again — but this time, not for the reasons he’d hoped. The Manchester United winger, who previously riled Barcelona fans by mocking Pedri’s celebration after a Europa League clash, is now on the receiving end of brutal fan backlash following United’s shocking 7-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield.
The Backstory:
Garnacho celebrated United’s narrow win over Barcelona at Old Trafford by copying Pedri’s signature pose, despite not scoring in the game.
The gesture sparked outrage among Blaugrana supporters, seen as disrespectful — especially since Pedri had gone off injured during the first leg.
The Payback:
Following United’s historic thrashing by Liverpool, rival fans wasted no time delivering their digital retribution:
“So-called ‘generational talent’ just lost 7-0 to rivals. Let’s laugh at Garnacho,” one fan tweeted.
Another mocked, “Lovely view, am I right, Garnacho?”
Pedri fans chimed in: “Pedri at 18: winning trophies. Garnacho at 18: losing 7-0. We are not the same.”
Context & Reactions:
Barcelona fans reveled in the “sweet karma” narrative.
Many pointed out the irony of Garnacho’s bravado, only to be humbled weeks later.
Even neutral fans joined the banter, using the occasion to critique United’s squad and arrogance.
Final Thought:
What began as playful trolling has now become a cautionary tale of football karma. Garnacho’s rise remains promising, but the lesson is clear: mock at your peril — the football gods always keep receipts
