Carlos Alcaraz (23) once again made it clear that Gimnasia occupies a central place in his life beyond the 11,450 kilometers and the jersey he is defending today. The striker from La Plata, an avowed Lobo fan, celebrated Christmas in England with a very Albiazule wink: he posed with his girlfriend in a Gimnasia shirt, a gesture that was quickly shared among the Triperos.
Currently in Liverpool, where he defends the blue and white colors of Everton, Alcaraz spent the holidays outside La Plata, accompanied by Mica Giagobbe, his girlfriend, her family and their pets – two dogs – in an intimate and homely postcard. Nevertheless, the connection to the wolf was there, as is almost always the case with a footballer: be it with the bracelet that he never takes off, a hat, his presence in the stands when he can, the honors he has received or the unbroken desire to one day wear the jersey as a professional.
“I always spend it with my father, my mother, my sister and my niece,” Alcaraz said of his customs on those days, despite having to adapt to the distance this year. When it came to the menu, he didn’t hesitate: true to Argentine tradition, his favorite dish is meat.
There was also space for childhood memories. “When I was little, I liked getting balls, and if there weren’t any, I didn’t like them. I got angry if they were clothes or a car, I just wanted balls,” he confessed with a laugh, revealing that his passion for football has always been with him.

As a final curiosity, Alcaraz was the unwilling protagonist of an unusual confusion: the famous website and podcast The alarm clock He mixed it with his namesake, the tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, and appeared on the cover for several hours as one of the athletes of 2025 on Spotify, causing surprise and comments on the networks.

He has played 32 games for Everton, including 16 this season: a total of three goals this year, four assists and he has only appeared as a substitute three times.
Christmas far from home, but with a good heart. And will the wish in the letter to Santa Claus ever come true?
