The alleged incident involving Lionel Messi spitting during the Spanish Cup match against Real Madrid has sparked controversy. José Callejon, the Real Madrid striker, shared his perspective on the situation. According to Callejon, Messi called Real Madrid’s assistant coach, Aitor Karanka, a “Mourinho puppet” during the match.
Callejon commented on the incident, emphasizing the tension of a match and suggesting that such comments could occur in the heat of the moment. However, he expressed surprise at the timing of the alleged insult, claiming that Messi waited for an hour and a half to insult someone in front of their spouse.
Controversies and heated exchanges on and off the pitch are not uncommon in high-stakes football matches, especially during intense rivalries like El Clásico between Barcelona and Real Madrid. It remains to be seen how the situation develops and if there will be any official responses from the involved parties.
