Álvaro Morales, known sports commentator, recently drew attention not for an opinion, but for fulfilling a bet. Morales, a supporter of Real Madrid as well as his loyalty to América in Liga MX, made a wager with his colleague Dionisio Estrada during the recent match of the whites in the Champions League against Arsenal.
After trusting in a comeback from Real Madrid after falling 3-0, Morales was forced to fulfill his part of the deal as the gunners were the ones who took the victory and advanced to the semifinals. In an emotional moment during the ESPN program Generación Fútbol, Álvaro Morales allowed Estrada to shave his head as a consequence of the lost bet.
Dionisio Estrada, assisted by Desirée Monsiváis and Carolina Padrón, proceeded to remove Morales' characteristic haircut, generating laughter both in the studio and on social media, where fans reacted amusingly to the situation.
Regarding the match in question, Real Madrid was overpowered by Arsenal with a global score of 1-5 in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Despite the consolation goal from Vinícius Júnior, the goals from Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli sealed the fate of the Madridists in the elimination.
Álvaro Morales, rising in the world of sports journalism thanks to his controversial opinions, demonstrated his sportsmanship by honoring the agreed bet, even if it meant losing part of his characteristic look for a while.
