World Cup winner looks unrecognisable with bizarre haircut similar to team-mate

ARGENTINA midfielder Rodrigo De Paul looks unrecognisable after a dye-job left him looking more like his teammate.

Fans were quick to draw comparisons between him and fellow Atletico Madrid forward Anton Griezmann after the midfielder’s makeover.

He was seen in Atletico training showcasing his signature buzzcut, albeit this time dyed bright blue and accompanied by a black heart on the side of his head.

The trim was a nod to French forward Antoine Griezmann who sported a similar bright green number earlier this year.

Griezmann rocked a pink heart rather than a black one.

Unfortunately for De Paul, he was unable to showcase the new look in Atletico’s final game of the season against Villareal.

The midfielder did not make the Atletico squad after picking up an injury.

The two sides played out a dramatic 2-2 draw with Villareal bagging a last minute equaliser through Jorge Pascual.

Atletico secured Champions League football, finishing third in LaLiga.

The draw saw Atleti finish one point behind city rivals Real Madrid.

Atletico needed to better Madrid’s result to finish second in the LaLiga table but couldn’t squeeze past Villareal despite Real drawing 1-1 with Athletic Club.

Despite not being able to help his team in the final game of the season, it has been a fine personal season for De Paul.

He played a key role in Argentina’s World Cup victory, earning the moniker of being Messi’s ‘bodyguard’ for snapping into tackles with any opponent that fouled or dispossessed Messi.

De Paul played all seven of Argentina‘s World Cup games as La Albiceleste secured their first World Cup victory since 1986.
