Valletta striker Mario Fontanella had his long beard shaved soon after Valletta FC were crowned champions for the 25th time.
The Italian player scored one of Valletta’s two goals in a thrilling 2-2 draw against Hibernians in a league championship decider, and then went on to net the decisive penalty in the shootout.
In the video (below), Fontanella is seen surrounded by team-mates who start clipping away at his beard before a razor turns up to complete the operation.
