Video: Barcelona midfielder sparks outrage after shouting offensive words at Real Madrid fans

Barcelona’s victory over Real Madrid understandably brought emotion to the surface, both on and off the pitch.

El Clasico is never a normal game, and the intensity often continues after the final whistle.

Following the Spanish Super Cup final, several Barcelona players were caught on camera reacting towards the stands, which triggered discussion and debate across social media and Spanish football circles.

Fermin Lopez’s reaction

In that regard, Fermin Lopez quickly became one of the most talked-about figures.

After the final whistle, with emotions still running high following the win, some Barcelona players directed gestures and comments towards the Real Madrid supporters.

Lamine Yamal was seen waving goodbye towards the stands. Fermin, on the other hand, went a step further.

In footage captured by the cameras and later shared on social media, he was heard addressing the opposition fans directly, saying,

“Take that! Go s**k it, go home! Go home! “ The clip quickly spread online and became a focal point of discussion.

The incident has led to contrasting reactions depending on perspective. Some argue that these moments are part of football’s emotional nature, especially after a high-stakes Clasico.

Others believe such gestures cross a line, particularly when they are clearly audible and aimed at supporters.

There is a valid argument

The comparison with how similar actions by Real Madrid players are often treated has also fuelled the debate, with claims that reactions differ depending on the badge a player wears.

Meanwhile, Fermin was not the only Barcelona player involved in post-match gestures.

Cameras also captured Pau Cubarsi making an offensive gesture towards the stands at the end of the match.

While the incidents did not escalate further and no immediate disciplinary action followed, they added to the sense of tension surrounding the fixture.

Real Madrid fell short in their bid to win the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday night as they lost 3-2 to Barcelona in the final in Jeddah.

Despite the loss, there were some positives to take away for Los Blancos, one of which was the performance of superstar forward Vinicius Jr.

After months of inconsistent form and a long-running goal draught, the 25-year-old Brazilian superstar scored a brilliant goal and was a constant threat going forward.

Vinicius, though, asked to be substituted in the 82nd minute of the game, leading to concerns over his physical condition.

No injury

But, according to the latest update from AS, much to Real Madrid’s relief, there is no injury to Vinicius and his substitution was only due to cramps and extreme fatigue.

Indeed, the attacker was suffering form cramps and was completely exhausted, which is why he asked to be taken off in the final stages of the match even as Real Madrid chased a late equaliser.

And, as per the report, Vinicius is a doubt for the upcoming Copa del Rey encounter against Albacete later this week.

Real Madrid lock horns with the lower division outfit on Wednesday, 14 January, in the Round of 16 of the cup competition, hoping to secure a place in the quarterfinal.

Now, Vinicius is seen as a doubt for the cup tie and his availability will depend on how his recovery goes in the next couple of days.

Meanwhile, Federico Valverde, who suffered an injury scare in the Super Cup final, is also a doubt for the Copa del Rey encounter, with tests scheduled to take place soon to determine the extent of his injury issue.
