Copenhagen player brands Alejandro Garnacho a ‘CLOWN’ for trying to scuff the penalty spot AGAIN during Man United’s 4-3 defeat… two weeks after the Argentine’s same antics were labelled as ‘childish’ by ex-Arsenal star

FC Copenhagen defender Denis Vavro called Alejandro Garnacho ‘a clown’ after the side ganged up to stop him from sabotaging the penalty spot again during their dramatic Champions League win over Manchester United on Wednesday night.
Garnacho was criticised when United beat the Danes at Old Trafford two weeks ago after he scuffed up the spot before Andre Onana saved a last-minute penalty from Jordan Larsson.
When Copenhagen were given the chance to level the second tie at 2-2 in added time at the end of the first half at Parken Stadium on Wednesday, Kevin Diks and Viktor Claesson ‘grabbed’ Garnacho and warned the young Argentina international not to try the same trick again before Diogo Goncalves beat Onana.
Vavro derided his ‘child’s’ mentality, telling Bold.dk: ‘I saw that he tried to do something about the penalty kick, but Kevin Diks stood in front and blocked’.
‘It is the second time (Garnacho has done this). And then on our track? To me, he is a clown.

‘He has the mentality of a child when he tries something like this again. In an away game.
‘One thing is at home in the 97th minute, but here in the first half. I don’t understand him trying to do that.’
Claesson added: ‘It was after the last match when he stepped into the spot. We grabbed him and told him not to approach the spot – and then he shouted something to Diogo, but I didn’t understand what he said.
‘We hadn’t talked about it, but when we got the penalty Diogo immediately said that I should take care of the penalty spot. I did and Garnacho was on his way.’
United regained the lead when Bruno Fernandes scored from the same spot in the second half, but two late goals from the Danish League leaders gave them a memorable win and left United’s Champions League hopes hanging by a thread.
Erik ten Hag’s side now have to beat Galatasaray in Istanbul at the end of the month, and possibly runaway group leaders Bayern Munich as well – and that may still not be enough if other results go against United.
