Cristóbal Soria's Surreal Reaction to Real Madrid's Thrashing of Sevilla

Real Madrid ends 2024 with an excellent victory against Sevilla. Although García Pimienta's players managed to slightly close the gap on the scoreboard, the reality is that the game was under the white club's control at all times. Only defensive errors, due to lack of concentration, brought Sevilla's team into the game.

One of the most anticipated reactions to this game hasn't happened. Not at least until it had to be present on El Chiringuito de Jugones. Because saying Sevilla in our country means saying and thinking of Cristóbal Soria: especially when the Andalusian team faces Real Madrid.

It's no secret that Real Madrid doesn't generate any kind of sympathy in Cristóbal Soria himself. That's why many expected some reaction from the commentator of the MEGA program on his social media, but absolutely nothing came. Instead of making any comment about the game, the telegenic seemed to focus his attention on a fish tank.

Sharing on his X account an aquarium video and fish living in it, Soria says that "I've always been in love with these animals." With that comment, no interaction occurred about what happened on Santiago Bernabéu field.

"Absolute" silence

The unquestionable dominance that Real Madrid exerted during almost the entire match in the white coliseum leaves little room for action. There weren't many controversies to feed on, neither for nor against the merengue entity. That's why the change in attitude and content offered by Cristóbal Soria right after the match between Real Madrid and Sevilla isn't surprising.

It's not being an easy season for the Sevillian panelist. The bad moment that the Andalusian capital discipline is going through contrasts fully with the better dynamics of Real Betis, their main rivals. At the same time, FC Barcelona has made several mistakes in recent matches: they've only gained five out of 21 possible points.

This accumulation of bad feelings, just before Christmas, seems to be a nightmare for Cristóbal Soria. His refuge from Real Madrid's good run is the fish, "little animals" of which "I've always been in love." With that decision, the debates near the Sevillian panelist's emotional stadium have provided much in the last few hours.

It's not the first time, however, that Cristóbal Soria omits comments about a Real Madrid match. This tactic is becoming increasingly common, considering that Carlo Ancelotti's players are gradually reconnecting with the best version of themselves.
