Barcelona players celebrate La Liga title amidst controversy

On May 11, 2026, FC Barcelona held a victory parade in Barcelona to celebrate their La Liga title win. During the parade, players Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez were seen interacting with fan merchandise directed at their rivals, Real Madrid. Lamine Yamal, an 18-year-old winger, was photographed holding a shirt with the slogan, 'Thank God I am not a Madridista.' This shirt was thrown to him by a fan, and he was filmed dancing with it. Similarly, Fermin Lopez wore an 'anti-Real' scarf thrown to him by a supporter. These actions have caused a stir among Real Madrid fans. The team members involved were celebrating on an open-top bus moving through the city center. The event was intended to commemorate the club's domestic success.
