Barça face backlash after congratulating Madrid for Copa del Rey win

FC Barcelona, like other teams who have played in this season's edition of the Copa del Rey, congratulated Real Madrid on Saturday for winning the competition after beating Osasuna 2-1 in the final with two goals from Rodrygo. Los Blancos were superior in the two penalty boxes and were able to overcome the Pamplona side, who performed brilliantly in Seville.

After the match, the Azulgrana showed their 'class' and congratulated their eternal rivals on social media. However, it has not been something that has been welcomed by a large number of Barça fans. In the replies to the message from the Catalan club, some supporters wondered why Barça decided to congratulate Madrid after the crisis that exists in the relations between the two institutions.

Let's remember that Madrid took legal action against Barça for the 'Negreira case' and, furthermore, branded the Azulgrana as the 'team of the Franco regime' with a video that sparked controversy after some statements by Barça president Joan Laporta.
