Match during Franco’s time? Ramos psychosis? Or Mourinho’s rudeness?

As reported by İdman.biz with reference to the “Championship”, “El Clasico” is one of the coolest matches not only in Spain, but throughout world football. Before the new game (to be held today, April 21), we remember the scandalous pages of the matches involving Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Pig’s head for Figo, 2002

In 2000, Luis Figo decided to take a very bold step – he left Barcelona for Real Madrid. As you understand, the fans of the Catalan club did not like this act of the football player. In the first match after the player’s return to the Camp Nou, fans prepared several banners with the inscription juda$ (Judas). They deliberately replaced the letter s with a dollar sign, thereby accusing the Portuguese of being corrupt. A couple of years later, Figo’s arrival in the capital of Catalonia turned out to be even more memorable. Luis was not shy about taking corners, and fans regularly pelted him with various objects. Everything that was at hand flew. Coins and glass bottles were thrown towards Figo, and someone even threw a pig’s head. The match was interrupted for several minutes and the players were taken off the field. True, the game was later resumed.

“Either you finish the match or you go to prison,” 1943

The return game in the Copa del Rey in 1943 turned into a nightmare for the Barcelona players. There are several versions of what happened. According to one of them, people in military uniform ordered the Catalans to lose before the game. According to another, the Barcelona players were beaten even before the starting whistle; according to the third, the military ordered the refereeing team to organize the required result. In the first half, the goalkeeper of the Catalan club did not jump for balls, but dodged stones that were flying at him from the stands. When the guests threw a throw-in or took a corner, the fans sitting in the front rows grabbed their jerseys. The teams went into the break with the score 0:8. They say that the blue garnets did not want to go out for the second half, but they were forced to do so by people in military uniform. “Either you finish the match, or you go straight to prison from here,” were the words that the Barça players heard in the locker room. During the time of dictator Franco, it was impossible not to take such threats seriously. The result was a defeat with a score of 1:11.

Ramos’ psychosis in the last minutes, 2010

Jose Mourinho’s first season as head coach of Real Madrid. It was then that he suffered the worst defeat in his career at that time – 0:5. Already in stoppage time, Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos took the headliner title. First, he openly knocked down Lionel Messi, for which he rightly received a red card. Do you think Sergio calmed down after this? No. He pushed Carles Puyol in the face, and then Xavi in ​​the chin. A brawl broke out on the field, and it almost came to a fight. Mutual insults continued after the teams went into the stands. There was also an episode during the match when Josep Guardiola threw the ball to the side, which Cristiano Ronaldo did not like. The Portuguese pushed the Barca coach and then quarreled with Iniesta.

Look at the T-shirt, 2017

Perhaps the most iconic El Clasico photo is the one with Lionel Messi at the Santiago Bernabeu in 2017. Then “Barcelona” defeated “Real” in Madrid (3:2), and Leo himself scored a double. He scored his second goal (the winning one) in stoppage time. Immediately after this, Messi rushed to the stands, tore off his T-shirt and defiantly showed it to the Real Madrid fans. A cheeky celebration against the backdrop of exhausted opponents and a swearing Ronaldo. A few months later, Cristiano will cosplay as Messi’s post-goal celebration at the Camp Nou.

Pepe stepped on Messi’s hand, 2012

At the beginning of 2012, Barça defeated Real Madrid (2:1) in the first match of the 1/4 finals of the Spanish Cup. The game was remembered for the fact that Madrid defender Pepe stepped on Messi’s hand while he was sitting on the lawn. After the match, the Portuguese caught a wave of hate directed at himself. They even had to apologize, although Pepe said that he accidentally stepped on the attacker’s hand. “The incident with Messi was unintentional, but I still want to apologize to him if it offended him. All I do is work for the team, I am ready to give my heart and soul for it. I have never had any thoughts of harming a colleague,” – Pepe said the next day.

Mourinho pokes Vilanova in the eye, 2011

With the arrival of Mourinho as head coach of Real Madrid, matches with Barcelona became explosive. In 2011, the top clubs in Spain were playing the country’s Super Cup, and a brawl broke out in the last minutes. Both football players and coaches took part in it. In the chaos, Mourinho sneaked up to Tito Vilanova (Guardiola’s assistant) and poked him in the eye. At a press conference after the match, the Portuguese said that at that time he did not know who Vilanova was. “I work a lot with my players to achieve control over emotions,” Mourinho said a year later. “We must only think about work and playing well. Then I made a mistake and I’m not looking for excuses. As Tito himself said a few weeks ago, a bad image will last forever.”

Busquets stepped on Pepe’s head, 2014

Another scandalous episode involving Pepe. This time the defender acted as the injured party. Barca midfielder Sergio Busquets stepped on Pepe’s head while he was lying on the lawn. After the match, the Spaniard said that he did this unintentionally because he did not see his opponent. Pepe had a different point of view. “One of the virtues of a person is to be honest and to be able to admit sometimes what you need to apologize for. If I were Busquets, I would no longer play for Real Madrid, which is what many want. If I stepped on Busquets, they would want to expel me from Spain – such are the costs of the reputation of a killer that is attributed to me,” Pepe lamented after the game.
