Barcelona, trailing 1-3 against Celta Vigo until the 62nd minute, managed to turn the game around and win with a 98th-minute penalty. This dramatic comeback led some to compare it to Real Madrid’s failed comeback attempt against Arsenal in the Champions League.

Barcelona’s official X (Twitter) account posted in Catalan: “So it really was the week of comebacks!”
This post, accompanied by a winking emoji, was widely interpreted as a dig at Real Madrid and their recent Champions League exit.

The tweet sparked massive backlash, with many furious Real Madrid fans calling it disrespectful. One fan wrote: “What a cheap move! This shows Barcelona’s lack of class.” Another added: “I can’t believe it. They’ve failed in Europe for years, but I rarely remember us or any other club mocking them.” Some even called for revenge in the upcoming Copa del Rey final.

Barcelona and Real Madrid will face each other twice in the coming weeks:
First in the Copa del Rey final next Saturday, followed by a La Liga clash at Montjuïc that could decide the title race.
