T -shirt and hug change after the clash in Copa del Rey

The popular saying that says that ‘time heals everything’ would apply for the sequence that will be described below but had passed just a week ago. Because after the spicy crosses and Chicanas they had in the South American classic between Argentina and Brazil, RODRIGO DE PAUL y Raphinha reconciled in the best way: they changed their shirts and melted on a hug Although the midfielder of the Atlético de Madrid ended up frustrated by elimination at the hands of Barcelona In the semifinals of the Copa del Rey.

The ‘Motorcito’ had been one of those who tried to lower the crossfire after the previous spicy that was generated from the statements that the Brazilian end made in the Romario myth program, where he promised to give “a beating” to the albiceleste “in the field and out of the field if necessary.”

De Paul expressed himself in the same line as the coach of the Lionel Scaloni team, who barely consummated the historical win by 4 to 1 at the Monumental Stadium, apologized to Raphinha. “It is a Brazil-Argentina and it is not necessary to make statements for the game to be like that. That’s not why we played like that. I apologize because I did not do it on purpose, defends its team”explained the world champion DT.

A few hours later, the gesture that the coach himself had with the Brazilian striker came to light: Scaloni waited for him in the hall to the locker room of the Monumental stadium and, far from the television cameras, gave him a warm hug that served to lower the intensity that had breathed for 90 minutes between Brazilians and Argentines, which also included the fans.

Also Nicolás Tagliafico -post Victoria in the Superclassic for the South American Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup where he hit him a strong kick- he had assured that Raphinha himself tried to explain, in one of the crosses that was inside the playing field, that the translation of his words in the Romario program had not been entirely right to what he had really meant. At that time, anyway, the situation had already been distorted.

But this Wednesday, the account seemed to have resulted. It is that Raphinha, instead of going to celebrate the important classification of Barcelona to the final of the Copa del Rey where he will face Real Madrid, was waiting to collide the palms first with the DT Diego Pablo Simeone and then with Rodrigo de Paul himself.

Already before leaving the playing field they had gathered with all their teammates and, hugging, exchanged some words covering their mouths with their hands, to avoid television cameras.

And once the meeting was finished, they returned to the same place, The Brazilian end greeted De Paul, hugged fraternally and exchanged the shirts they had used a time before in the match. In a time as globalized as the one we live, the exchange quickly went viral. Everything resorted to?
