Spit, Taunts, and a Scarf: The Night Valencia Tested Real Madrid at Mestalla

What happened during the Valencia-Real Madrid clash?

Several Valencia fans targeted a Real Madrid supporter during Sunday’s match, which finished with the visitors’ 2-0 win in La Liga’s 23rd round of the season that night, dramatically.

Several camera lenses from Movistar+ captured a Madrid supporter wearing a Madrid scarf being teased by Valencia fans during the moments after kickoff.

The Madrid fan flashed his scarf again, had it pulled away, and reclaimed it soon after.

As the Madrid supporter headed toward the exit to avoid worsening the situation, he was spat on by a man in the same section as he passed by. Security intervened, yet mood remained tense.

Madrid’s victory lifted them to 57 points, second in La Liga, while Valencia stayed on 23 points in 17th place.

Aftermath and standings

Real Madrid sits second with 57 points, Valencia remains near the bottom with 23, as tensions linger in the league’s crowded table.

Punchline: If drama funded flights, Mestalla would fly everyone to a later kickoff; also, the scarf still seems to have better attendance than Valencia’s defense.

Punchline 2: In football, the ball might bounce, but sharp comments sometimes bounce back even louder.
