Barça Fans Lash out at Madrid over Iniesta Tribute
The Catalans can't believe Real Madrid's gesture toward Iniesta and consider it a clear lack of respect
Tributes to legends are a fairly common occurrence in the soccer world, even at the highest level, such as in Spanish soccer. In this case, a game between two rival clubs, Real Madrid and Barcelona, took place with great references from the past. One of these, of course, was Andrés Iniesta, who was honored in this game.
However, the Barça fans were quite offended by what Real Madrid did in this game. The Barcelona player was given a Real Madrid jersey with his name and number on it. Something that they definitely consider disrespectful, but which the player himself accepted with humility.
Obviously, it's more of a rivalry of hate than anything else from what we've seen from their reaction. Instead of seeing it as an ovation or a reaction of respect alone, they've seen it as disrespecting their person.
They don't even know what to invent anymore
These Barcelona fans definitely take everything too seriously to the point of considering these small gestures as insults. It is well known that Real Madrid had their desire to have this player in their ranks at one time. So it is not a secret.
In a clear gesture of humility, Real Madrid gave away a jersey in honor of his great career and not as a kind of humiliation. However, their inferiority complex always makes them see something negative in everything Real Madrid does.
The match ended with a victory for the Catalans, much to the dismay of the Madridistas, who, despite this, managed to enjoy this encounter. An unforgettable moment for many of the players who put on their teams' jerseys again.
Each to his own
While Real Madrid is looking for a way to pay tribute to great players, even when they are rivals, the culés are only offended. One more demonstration of why Real Madrid is the best team in the world and the Barcelona fans are self-conscious.
