Atlético de Madrid subtly upset Real Madrid after the rout against FC Barcelona (5-2) in the final of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday.
A small, banal text and a photo that seems just as banal. But for many, the message published on Atlético de Madrid's English At the time of its broadcast, Real had already conceded five goals against FC Barcelona (5-2) in the final of the Spanish Super Cup played in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and this visibly inspired the Colchoneros' account.
“Have a nice weekend”
Atlético posted a photo of Cesar Azpilicueta all smiles and his right hand fully extended, which some interpret as a reference to the “manita” (five goals like the five fingers of the hand) suffered by Real several thousand kilometers away. All behind a seemingly benevolent little phrase: “have a good weekend”, again seen as a way to rejoice at the Merengues' setbacks.
The message generated an incredible flood of reactions: it was shared nearly 9,000 times, was liked more than 75,000 times and has nearly two million views. It must be said that the weekend was particularly beneficial for Atlético, victorious in its eighth consecutive match in La Liga where it took the lead with a lead over Real (2nd) and six over Barça (3rd). ).
“It was a bad evening, we are sad like all our supporters, it's a disappointment, we shouldn't hide it, but that's football, sometimes you are capable of winning and sometimes you have to learn from defeat “, declared Carlo Ancelotti, Real coach after the match. “We have to look ahead, there is nothing more to do. We just have to look forward.”
