With the entire football planet looking forward to the World Cup final in Qatar, FC Barcelona has been involved in the duel between Argentina and France on their social accounts.
A tweet from Barcelona’s official Twitter account as soon as Leo Messi scored the penalty kick that put Argentina ahead of France caused an uproar on the nets. In the aforementioned tweet, an Argentine football and flag appeared, which caused a lot of controversy. Many Barcelona fans were outraged by the Catalan club’s celebration of Argentina’s goal when it currently does not have any of its representatives in the ranks of the Albiceleste team, while France, on the other hand, has two: Dembele and Conde.
Phrases like “Respect for the French players who play for Barcelona…”, “What do you celebrate a goal from Argentina when you don’t have any Argentines in the team? What a pity for a club”, “France has two of its players there are no Argentina players, They are a joke to the club “… In contrast to the criticism FC Barcelona received for this tweet, Barcelona also got another boost from other fans who celebrated the initiative and called for Messi’s return to the Camp Nou. “Return Messi to Barcelona Karagou,” “Please bring him back,” “Dembele and Conde”…
