Madridistas see World Cup as chance to beat the weak

Published July 5, 2026 · Updated July 5, 2026 · El País

The World Cup gives Madridistas a chance to confront the weak, avoiding automatic rivals like Barca or Atlético. Personal biases drive their feelings towards teams.

The World Cup offers Real Madrid supporters a chance to face "weaker" teams, steering clear of the usual arch-rivals such as Barcelona or Atlético. Their emotions are shaped by personal experiences, with many hoping for the downfall of Messi or other foes from past painful encounters.
