Barcelona’s victory over Real Madrid understandably brought emotion to the surface, both on and off the pitch.
El Clasico is never a normal game, and the intensity often continues after the final whistle.
Following the Spanish Super Cup final, several Barcelona players were caught on camera reacting towards the stands, which triggered discussion and debate across social media and Spanish football circles.
Fermin Lopez’s reaction
In that regard, Fermin Lopez quickly became one of the most talked-about figures.
After the final whistle, with emotions still running high following the win, some Barcelona players directed gestures and comments towards the Real Madrid supporters.
Lamine Yamal was seen waving goodbye towards the stands. Fermin, on the other hand, went a step further.
In footage captured by the cameras and later shared on social media, he was heard addressing the opposition fans directly, saying,

“Take that! Go s**k it, go home! Go home! “ The clip quickly spread online and became a focal point of discussion.
The incident has led to contrasting reactions depending on perspective. Some argue that these moments are part of football’s emotional nature, especially after a high-stakes Clasico.
Others believe such gestures cross a line, particularly when they are clearly audible and aimed at supporters.
There is a valid argument
The comparison with how similar actions by Real Madrid players are often treated has also fuelled the debate, with claims that reactions differ depending on the badge a player wears.
Meanwhile, Fermin was not the only Barcelona player involved in post-match gestures.
Cameras also captured Pau Cubarsi making an offensive gesture towards the stands at the end of the match.
While the incidents did not escalate further and no immediate disciplinary action followed, they added to the sense of tension surrounding the fixture.
