Revenge of the first leg where the French won 2-0 in November 2022 in Paris, the meeting was interrupted around the 56th minute. Monkey cries from the stands targeted a black French player, Brawks, leading his teammates to return to the locker room in protest.
At least one supporter was excluded from the Atletico Madrid stadium, where 30,000 spectators were seated (for a total capacity of 70,000).
“This is the first time that I have been a victim” of this type of racist act, “it has no place in sport”, commented Brawks on the microphone during the interruption, before the match resumed.
This meeting between streamers with millions of subscribers on social networks ended with a score of 2-0 for Spain, including a penalty at the very end of the match. The French team had star streamers in its ranks like AmineMaTue, organizer of the match, Inoxtag and Michou.
Called Eleven All Stars 2, the meeting reached a peak of some 990,000 spectators on the Twitch channel of AmineMaTue, the third streamer in France in terms of subscribers on this platform (2.8 million), behind Squeezie and Gotaga.
This total of spectators remains far from the peak of 1.1 million people who followed the first leg on the AmineMaTue channel.
This match then established a record in this area, beaten last September by the GP Explorer 2 car race, organized by another French internet superstar, Squeezie (1.3 million).
All these events are part of the trend of large-scale competitions organized in real life by content creators, who generate massive audiences online.
