Wayne Rooney responds to Alejandro Garnacho’s stunning bicycle kick against Everton, comparing it to his own strike against Man City in 2011.
In a 3-0 win over Everton in December, Garnacho produced a superb overhead kick that was immediately compared to Rooney’s iconic goal against Manchester City in 2011.
Both goals were played perfectly when the duo performed perfectly from receiving the pass to choosing the time to throw the ball.
During a recent appearance on BBC’s Match of the Day to analyze Manchester United’s late win over Nottingham Forest in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Rooney had an answer when it came to the debate over which goal to score. more beautiful.
“I’ve always said, it’s actually harder to score with your shin. To be honest, I don’t know whether the ball hit my shin or my foot. I thought Garnacho’s goal was difficult and also beautiful more, but I think scoring against Manchester City was a more special moment.”
Previously, another former MU player, Gary Neville, also witnessed this directly when commenting on the match. Neville praised Garnacho’s goal as one of the most beautiful masterpieces he had ever witnessed, even surpassing Rooney’s memorable strike in the Manchester derby.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been in a stadium where I’ve seen such a good overhead kick, and I was there the day Rooney scored in the Manchester derby. It was impossible I can’t believe what we did. Wow. That was a magical goal.”
It will be something special if Garnacho can repeat his heroics against Man City on Sunday at the Etihad. The 2004-born player has scored seven goals in all competitions and it will be special to add to his tally when he meets his arch-rival at the weekend.
