Meet Nottingham Forest new boy Gonzalo Montiel’s stunning Wag Karina, who celebrated his World Cup win on the pitch
NOTTINGHAM FOREST have a World Cup winner in their squad.
Steve Cooper’s side have added Argentina international Gonzalo Montiel for £9.5million from Sevilla.
The defender, 26, famously scored his country’s winning penalty against France in the World Cup final.
While last season, he showed a cool head to net ANOTHER decisive spot kick as his former LaLiga club edged out Roma in a shootout.
Supporting him along the way is his stunning Wag, Karina Nacucchio.
The busty brunette beauty, 29, joined her boyfriend on the pitch in Qatar and posed with his winner’s medal.
And she was moved to tears when he won the Europa League against the Italian side.
His greatest supporter
When Montiel shares his delight at joining a Premier League, expect his Wag to chime in with how pride she is.
Karina has celebrated his career all the way through to when he starred for his first club, River Plate.
The pair met in Buenos Aires in 2019 and have been inseparable ever since.
She moved to Spain when he signed for Sevilla in 2021.
And she is clearly his greatest supporter.
Proud Wag
After Argentina saw off France in one of the most dramatic World Cup finals ever, Montiel emerged as the hero.
His calmly taken penalty sealed the win against the Europeans, after the game couldn’t be decided following extra time.
Montiel held the World Cup in his hands, and was awarded a shiny gold medal.
Karina didn’t miss out on the moment. She was there, on the pitch and posed with his medal to share the emotional moment with her beau.
Afterwards, she shared snaps on the Estadio Lusail pitch and declared her happiness.
She captioned the photos: “This happiness is unexplainable!! This is crazy!!!
“THANK YOU THANK YOU to life for letting me live this moment
with the love of my life ”.
More tears
Karina’s emotions got the better of her again when Montiel became a Europa League champion for Sevilla back in June.
And once again he was the hero, netting the winning penalty in a shootout after an agonising night.
She took to the pitch in Budapest to share her delight.
Karina posed with the trophy, while giving Montiel a kiss.
If Forest find themselves in a relegation battle again this campaign, but they survive by the skin of their teeth, expect Karina to cry tears of joy.
