The Spanish midfielder had an argument with Vinicius Jr in the classic
The classic between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid is always a hotbed of emotions, but the last clash left a particularly bitter taste for the colchoneros. Beyond the equal scoreline, one of the images that has transcended the most has been the heated exchange of words between Koke and Vinícius Jr.
Since then, social media has become a virtual boxing ring where the Atlético midfielder has been the target of constant mockery and memes. Vinícius Jr.’s phrase, “I have two Champions Leagues and you have none”, has become a mantra repeated ad nauseam by Real Madrid fans, who have not hesitated to take advantage of the situation to make fun of their eternal rival.
This was one of the most viral posts of the last few hours. In the images we can see a clear mockery of the Spanish midfielder. While Vinicius Jr is lifting the ‘Orejona’, Koke is shown with a container of chips from the well-known Burger King restaurant. This is just a little of the mockery from Real Madrid fans.
Why has Koke become the target of mockery?
- Vinícius Jr.’s quote: The forcefulness and simplicity of the Brazilian’s statement has resonated deeply with the Real Madrid community, becoming a constant reminder of Real Madrid’s superiority in the Champions League.
- The result of the match: The draw left a bittersweet taste for Atlético de Madrid, who were deprived of the opportunity to add three points in a key match.
- The historical rivalry: The rivalry between the two teams is historical and any direct confrontation is usually marked by a great emotional charge. The taunts are another way of expressing this rivalry.
The consequences of teasing:
Mocking on social media can have a significant psychological impact on players. Although Koke is an experienced footballer and used to pressure, it is inevitable that such criticism affects him in some way. In addition, this type of situation can generate an atmosphere of hostility and polarisation that makes coexistence between fans difficult.
Is the reaction of Real Madrid fans justified?
Football is a sport that generates passions and rivalries are part of its essence. However, it is important to set limits and avoid falling into insults and personal disqualification. The mockery of Koke, although understandable from the point of view of a Real Madrid fan, does not contribute to a climate of respect and sportsmanship.
