PALESTINE SCANDAL AT REAL MADRID

In the first week match of the UEFA Champions League, Real Madrid hosted Olympique Marseille at home. Security personnel at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium did not allow the entry of Palestinian flags carried by Marseille fans. Fans were told, "You cannot enter with a Palestinian flag," and the collected flags were thrown in the trash at the stadium entrance. A banner held by Real Madrid fans read, "We only ask one thing from you, to be champions this year."

THEY HAD SUPPORTED UKRAINE

While Real Madrid's attitude drew reactions, it was reminded that the Spanish giant had previously prepared a special choreography for Ukraine. Football fans expressed that the club was applying double standards.

SUPPORT FROM BILBAO TO PALESTINE

Another Spanish team, Athletic Bilbao, displayed a completely different attitude in the same tournament. Bilbao fans, hosting Arsenal at San Mames Stadium, unfurled a banner supporting Gaza. The banner read, "We will be with you from today until the last day."
