Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain branded fat 'aircraft carrier'

Juventus striker Gonzalo Higuain has again been accused of being out of shape after their Super Cup defeat to Lazio.

Tuttosport accuses the Argentine of "humiliating" himself after his performance in the loss.

"He's an aircraft carrier in a marina, he does not move and his maneuvers are limited," Tuttosport's editorial stated.

"He's accused of being too heavy over the summer, it's humiliating that someone like him did not even make a mark in the whole game."

Higuain was given a mark of 4/10 as he struggled to get into the showpiece match.
