The Argentine winger debuted a striking bleached-blond hairstyle that quickly sparked comparisons with Yamal, who sported a similar look prior to the Copa del Rey final. While some supporters viewed the change as a light-hearted expression of confidence, others took a more critical stance, as many accused Garnacho of focusing more on his image than his on-field contributions, especially given his inconsistent form this season.

Social media was abuzz with comments suggesting that the winger should shift his attention from style statements to substance on the pitch.
One supporter, @FCBMuzan wrote, "He is forcing to be like Lamine Yamal man, it's so sad."
Whereas @Smittcmd said: "I swear Garnacho doesn’t even know who he wants to be, one day he’s Cristiano, the next Messi, and now Yamal. 😭"
Meanwhile, @ProfileTrade said: "All flash, no substance. I expect him to put in 7 shots, maybe 1 will be on target lol."

While @kraft_demo claimed: "Must be a Tottenham barber job."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Despite occasional flashes of brilliance, Garnacho has struggled to find consistency throughout the campaign, an issue that has led to increasing scrutiny as United prepare for their most important match of the season. The Argentine has 11 goals and 10 assists in 57 appearances this season across all competitions.

The Europa League final on Wednesday night in Bilbao offers both United and Tottenham a golden opportunity to salvage pride after dismal Premier League campaigns. With just one game left in the domestic season, United sit in a lowly 16th place, while Spurs fare no better, trailing them by a single point in 17th. Securing the Europa League title not only offers a much-needed morale boost but it also guarantees a spot in next season’s Champions League – a crucial incentive for two teams desperate for redemption.
