Barcelona Channel Commentator Sparks Controversy Over Modric
During the special coverage on Barcelona's official channel for the team's recent friendly match against Seoul, which ended with Barcelona winning 7-3, the match commentator sparked controversy with his remarks about Luka Modric, the Real Madrid legend.
The club's commentator stated during his commentary on the match: "By the way, we did not give the tribute that Luka Modric deserves; his last great service was his pass to Koundé in the King's Cup final; and from here we express our appreciation for him."
This comment came in a sarcastic context, alluding to the mistake made by the former Real Madrid star in the King's Cup final, which saw Barcelona win 3-2 in the dying moments of the second extra half.
Many fans of the royal club expressed their discontent with the Barcelona channel's comment, considering it a belittlement of one of the greatest midfielders in football history, and several journalists and media figures from Madrid criticized what happened on the Catalan club's channel.
