Gonzalo Higuain Gets Ripped Into For Attempting To Show He's Ripped

Gonzalo Higuain Gets Ripped Into For Attempting To Show He's Ripped

It didn't go quite to plan...

Ever since signing for Juventus for a reported fee of £75m in the summer, Gonzalo Higuain has had to deal with plenty of 'fat' jibes after being deemed overweight by some.

Higuain did indeed look like he had enjoyed his summer when he took to the field against West Ham at the London Stadium in a pre-season friendly and was trolled by many for his fitness.

He's definitely trimmed down since and posted a picture on Instagram of him without a shirt on in a gym with a friend, as a sort of message to those who have slagged him off.

All would appear normal at first glance but those with eagle-eyed vision (or a really good zoom feature) have spotted that the Argentine appears to have photoshopped abs and tucked his hips in.

This video, taken from the same day, shows Higuain looking a bit different.

And that, as expected, only made the trolling worse.

If we're being honest though, Higuain's probably not too disheartened. He's scored an impressive 13 goals in a total of 23 appearances this term, helping Juventus to their familiar position of league leaders in Serie A.
