The shocking transformation of a former Real Madrid star. A selfie is causing a stir on social media
Retired in 2022 from football from the Inter Miami team, the former Argentinian striker Gonzalo Higuaín (38 years old) settled in the USA. A selfie with “Pipita” in Miami is making waves on social media. The picture shows him differently than when he was playing.

Time flies for everyone, but for Gonzalo Higuaín, it seems to have passed faster than for others, at least according to the latest photo that has gone viral online. The former Juventus, Napoli and Real Madrid forward was immortalized in a Miami sporting goods store with a look that left fans speechless: a straw-yellow tank top, sandals, a bushy beard and a completely different hairstyle from his heyday. The South American lost his hair. At 38, Pipita appears to have fully embraced the laid-back Florida lifestyle, looking almost unrecognizable from the treadmill-scoring athlete just a few years ago.

The image sparked a debate on social media, with some joking about the Argentine's “golden withdrawal” and others even questioning the authenticity of the image, speculating that artificial intelligence was used.
In reality, this aesthetic evolution is not entirely new: already in his final years at Inter Miami, Higuaín showed signs of a physical transformation that now seems complete. Despite his appearance as a tourist, Gonzalo has not completely abandoned competitive activity.
In addition to his role as a coach on Beckham's staff, he successfully dedicates himself to padel, proving that beneath his thick beard and beachy looks, the heart of a champion still beats. Higuaín surprisingly declared that he would like to become a mental coach.
Gonzalo Higuaín officially hung up his boots on October 18, 2022, after playing his last game for Inter Miami. His extraordinary career began at River Plate, then played for Real Madrid, Napoli, Juventus, with brief spells at AC Milan and Chelsea, before ending his career in the United States.
Over the years, he has built an enviable record, winning three Spanish league titles, three Italian titles, three Italian Cups, one Spanish Cup, three Super Cups and a Europa League with Chelsea, among others. With the Argentina national team, although he did not win any trophies, he reached three prestigious finals, finishing as runners-up at the 2014 World Cup and runners-up at the Copa America in 2015 and 2016.
