[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, a recent photo believed to be former Argentina international Gonzalo Higuaín has gone viral online, with many questioning its authenticity due to his drastically changed appearance. The picture, purported to show Higuaín, has set social media abuzz over the past few hours. In the photo, the ex-Argentina forward is spotted inside a sports goods store in Miami, sporting a thick full beard and dressed in a tank top and casual relaxed wear. This look is a far cry from his well-known image during his prolific goalscoring days with River Plate, Real Madrid, Napoli, Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea, Inter Miami and the Argentina national team. Owing to the stark contrast in his physical transformation, the photo has spread like wildfire across the internet.
The editor believes that what has caused a stir is not just the passage of time, but rather the unkempt appearance that many netizens have highlighted across social platforms. The discussion quickly escalated and went far beyond mere looks. Some fans began to question whether the photo was even real, expressing shock at just how drastically El Pipita’s current physical condition differs from his physique back in the final years of his professional career.
