Real Madrid fans drag Pablo Maffeo for throwing up 5-2 fingers on camera in post-match beef
Real Madrid fans have not held back in their reaction to Pablo Maffeo’s controversial post-match gesture following Mallorca’s semifinal loss to the Spanish giants.
After a bruising encounter with the likes of Vinicius Jr. and Jude Bellingham, the Mallorca right-back was caught on camera making a “5-2” gesture, referring to Barcelona’s victory in the final.
What was presumably intended as a cheeky jab has instead ignited a wave of backlash from Real Madrid supporters, who were far from amused by the display.
According to reports, Maffeo’s decision to flaunt Barcelona’s triumph rather than respect the competitive nature of Real Madrid has added fuel to an already smoldering rivalry.
For many fans, this gesture was a disrespectful attempt to distract from Real Madrid’s own legacy and achievements. The club, which has consistently been one of the most successful and prestigious in European football, has long been a symbol of excellence, and fans feel that Maffeo’s actions only served to diminish the spirit of fair competition.
In their eyes, it’s a reminder of the bitter rivalries that can overshadow the game, and a call for more focus on sporting merit than unnecessary drama off the pitch.
Top social media comments from Real Madrid fans:
1. “Maffeo really thought he was doing something with that 5-2 gesture. Bruh, stay humble. You lost to us, and you’re throwing up Barcelona’s scoreline? Pathetic.”
2. “That’s what happens when a player has more time to think about Barcelona than his own game. Stick to defending and stop worrying about what happens in finals you’re not even a part of.”
3. “Maffeo showing off 5-2… how cute. Real Madrid have 14 UCL titles. Come back when you have something that matters.”
4. “Does he realize how irrelevant he just made himself look? That 5-2 was a one-off, we own the bigger trophies year after year. Stay in your lane.”
5. “What’s next, Maffeo? 6-0? 5-2 isn’t even close to the 13 La Liga titles we’ve got. Maybe focus on your own team before mocking others.”
6. “Imagine having the nerve to throw up 5-2, but knowing full well you’ll never be able to compare to Real Madrid’s legacy. Funny guy, but not funny enough.”
