‘CR7 DNA’: IShowSpeed recreates Garnacho’s incredible bicycle kick but received a ‘bitter end’ at Man Utd FA Cup party

IShowSpeed was seen celebrating Manchester United’s FA Cup final victory against Manchester City, as he posed for photos with members of the squad and was seen attempting to recreate Alejandro Garnacho’s incredible bicycle kick against Everton.

The popular YouTuber had travelled over from America to watch his side seal a 2-1 victory in Saturday’s FA Cup final at Wembley. Garnacho would put United ahead, before Kobbie Mainoo doubled their lead nine minutes later, with Jeremy Doku pulling a goal back in the 87th minute.

IShowSpeed, who is renowned for posting his bizarre reactions online, had angered supporters trying to enjoy the match when he began shouting at fans nearby.

But it appears the unsavoury incident didn’t spoil his day, as videos emerged online of the YouTube star, whose real name is Darren Jason Watkins Jr, mingling with United’s players during their end-of-season party.

He subsequently posted several pictures of him posing with Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund and even Erik ten Hag at the event on his Instagram. In one video posted on X (formerly Twitter) the YouTuber was seen shaking hands with goalscorer Garnacho.

The pair were seen in a hallway replicating Cristiano Ronaldo’s iconic ‘Siu’ celebration, with both jumping in the air before striking the Portuguese superstar’s iconic pose towards eachother.

IShowSpeed then jumps into the air and attempts an overhead kick, while shouting ‘Garnacho!’ in reference to the Argentine’s overhead kick against Everton at Goodison Park earlier this season – which has been shortlisted for Goal of the Season.

The 19-year-old, appeared to land on his lower back and seemingly hurt himself, before getting back to his feet, with Garnacho saying: ‘Nice try, my guy’ before hugging him.
