Alejandro Garnacho’s response to a tweet that claimed he omitted Lionel Messi from the Copa America final and is a ‘Ronaldo fan boy’
Alejandro Garnacho has responded to the accusation that he “ignored” Lionel Messi while playing for Argentina in the most recent Copa America tournament.
Garnacho was a member of Argentina’s winning squad, which emerged victorious in the Copa America final after defeating Colombia.
The Manchester United winger appeared for his nation in only one match, playing for 66 minutes in a group stage victory over Peru. However, he was relegated to the bench for all subsequent games.

Garnacho thereby preserved his status as one of the few footballers to have played alongside both Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi throughout his career.The 20-year-old has publicly expressed his admiration for Ronaldo, as evidenced by his imitation of the Portuguese player’s goal celebration after scoring his first senior goal for United against Real Sociedad in November 2022. Additionally, he fulfilled his aspiration to be a teammate of the legendary figure at Old Trafford for a brief period.
Some admirers believe that Garnacho does not derive the same pleasure from playing alongside Messi as Ronaldo. One individual on social media accused the Red Devils’ forward of “ignoring” the Inter Miami man after he sustained an injury during the Copa America final.Garnacho responded to this comment by posting an image of himself with his arm around Messi following the full-time siren. The image depicts the duo smiling.
Another individual who has been in the position of sharing the pitch with two greats of the modern era is Angel Di Maria. Earlier this year, Di Maria stated of Garnacho, “He is a very fast player, he has incredible ability.” He will acquire it through experience and his participation in the national team, which is an environment that fosters growth and learning. It has significantly contributed to my technical development in every respect; it is incredible.
“I believe that he will also develop as he gains experience.” I aspired to execute the play on the game 30 times when I was a child. As time progresses, you come to the realization that it is worthwhile to perform the task ten times, but to do so with greater precision. He possesses an extensive destiny, a huge future. It is contingent upon his ability to manage it, on his mental faculties. I am at a loss for words; there is a reason he is playing for Manchester United.
