In the buildup to Saturday's Champions League final involving Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid at San Siro in Milan, Phil Kitromilides, a presenter and commentator for Real Madrid TV, published a photo on Twitter in which a supporter of Los Blancos can be seen sporting a nightmare-inducing haircut.

Given the shirt in the photo, the obvious guess is that the supporter is aiming to depict Gareth Bale. The result, however, is somewhere in between Edvard Munch's The Scream and the kid from Jumanji.
