After observing Diogo Dalot's cross flutter across to the back post and unleash a spectacular bicycle kick, Garnacho hushed a vociferous home support.
The Manchester United winger's shot beat Jordan Pickford and into the top corner from roughly ten yards out.
After scoring what could be his greatest goal to date, Garnacho mimicked Cristiano Ronaldo's well-known "Siu" celebration.
Garnacho did another Ronaldo classic after escaping the commotion.
He pointed to the turf and mimicked the 'I am here' celebration used by the Portuguese legend.
In the 2017–18 Champions League quarterfinal match between Real Madrid and Juventus, Ronaldo scored a goal similar to an equally spectacular bicycle kick, which stands as one of his all-time greatest goals.
Ever since the two played together against Sheriff Tiraspol in 2022, Garnacho has made no secret of his admiration for Ronaldo.
There were some fans however that compared Garnacho's goal to Wayne Rooney's bicycle kick against Manchester City in the derby.
Manchester United went on to win the game 3-0 thanks to other goals from Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
