Garnacho came off the bench and helped United get a winner, and the youngster could not help but poke a bit of fun at the Spaniards.
At the end of the game the 18-year-old seemingly mocked Pedri’s goggle celebration by performing it himself at the Theatre of Dreams.
The Barca midfielder missed the game through injury and Spanish media have slammed Garnacho for his “poor taste”.
The Madrid-born Argentine youngster then added to the fury with a cheeky six-word tweet, writing: “Pasa de ronda el equipo grande” (the big team advanced to the next round).
That incensed Barcelona fans who have lashed out at Garnacho in response.
One said: “Hello Alejandro, to do that and NOT contribute anything, it is better to be quiet, you are NOT anyone in the world of football yet.
“You have NOT won anything yet, let alone talk about Pedri.”
Another added: “Mocking a player who didn’t even play is pretty sad.”

Another commented: “And what have you won? Apart from training with Messi.”
