An unusual event occurred involving the sports club and supporters of Hugo Durotas, a Valencian CF player. Duro was a key player in the game, scoring a second goal with a replay. After the meeting, he participated in warm-up exercises with the replacements, as he had not left immediately after the final whistle. During these heats, fans of the Athletic Bilbao joked and celebrated Duro’s performances from the Mestalla stands. Despite the third consecutive loss of his team, Duro seemed relaxed and in a good mood, participating in the warm-up as usual with the replacement players.
As often after a match, several replacement players performed warm-up exercises on the Mestalla lawn. Among them were also some players who had a few minutes of play, such as Duro, who came into play at the 70th minute. Rather than being embarrassed by the songs of the visiting fans, Duro seemed to appreciate the atmosphere, observing with fun the celebrations of the Athletic Bilbao. An unusual interaction developed between the footballer and a supporter, marked by friendly gestures and surprising complicity, both in the field and in the life of each.
The event culminated with the celebration of one of its races by the supporter of the Athletic Bilbao, imitating the famous celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo. Basque fans responded by chanting the iconic song associated with the Portuguese player. This scene, mixing sport, rivalry and camaraderie, created a unique and memorable moment, illustrating the ability of football to transcend borders and create unexpected links between fans and players.
