Let’s stop calling this "passion." It wasn’t. It was unfiltered, high-octane pettiness. Here is a homegrown talent who bled for the badge, climbed the ladder, and finally earned the right to wear the national colors. In any other universe, that’s a victory lap for the academy. Instead, every touch of the ball was met with a chorus of whistles so bitter they tasted like copper. It didn't make the fans look tought it made them look fragile. The Fine Print of "Loyalty"
Football fans are obsessed with the "one of us" narrative, but this night exposed the ugly truth: that love is a shackle, not a bond. The moment a player outgrows the frame you’ve put them in the moment they find success that doesn’t serve your specific tribal ego, the "identity" you praised becomes the ammunition you use to shoot them down.

Dreaming of espanyol downfall back to the second division after the way their fans treated a international game ( let’s fucking face it , on spain/egypt most of the fans were from espanyol )
You guys are hypocrits. We hate on Figo to this day. They will do the same to Joan and they should. It’s the racist shit they did that was bad.
People when they find out some rivalries are deeper than it seems
first time a proven legend is debuted in spain national team
That’s what football does to people. It usually brings out the worst in people.
Don’t wanna say it but spainish football culture is so bad when it comes to racism.
