It’s lucky all football fans are in such great shape because it gives them the ability to take the piss out of professional athletes.
Recently, we saw fickle fans slam Sergio Aguero for his appearance in training ground photos and now, it’s the turn of his international teammate Gonzalo Higuain.

After making the €90 million move from Napoli to Juventus, Higuain may not have been at full fitness during pre-season but it seems like a massive leap to use the word “fat” when referring to the Argentine striker.
During a friendly game against West Ham on Sunday, the commentator noted that Higuain looked slightly out of shape while supporters took the opportunity to have a go at the 28-year-old.

The internet can be a very harsh and unpleasant place.
