Once one of the world’s deadliest strikers and a terror to opposing goalkeepers across Europe, today he lives a completely relaxed lifestyle.
Legendary Argentine footballer Gonzalo Higuain has shocked fans with his current appearance.
A photo that a fan took with the former Real Madrid, Napoli and Juventus striker at a sports store in Miami has begun circulating on the social network X.
What immediately caught everyone’s eye is the fact that Higuain looks absolutely unrecognizable. With a long, slightly unkempt beard, thin hair and a completely relaxed manner, in a simple sleeveless T-shirt, shorts and slippers, the Argentine does not give the impression of a man who, until a few years ago, was playing at the highest possible professional level.
It’s clear that the famous Pipita is enjoying his retirement from football to the fullest. After ending his professional career in 2022 with Inter Miami, he decided to stay and live in the United States, away from the pressure of the European media.
Higuain has been the target of harsh public criticism throughout his career for his weight and failure to score in important matches, which caused him great stress.
Therefore, it is not surprising that he has now chosen a lifestyle in which he is not at all concerned about what others think of his physical appearance or clothing.
The photo has sparked a flood of comments online. While many fans are in disbelief and point out that they cannot recognize the player who scored in the Argentina national team jersey, others are vigorously defending him.
During his career, he played for some of the biggest clubs in the world, such as Real Madrid, Chelsea, Juventus, Milan and Napoli.
