Sergio Herrera faces off with the Santiago Bernabeu as Madrid thrash Osasuna

Sometimes in a match there are moments of maximum tension. Sergio Herrera, who was experiencing a difficult afternoon at the Santiago Bernabéu, went through one of them.

The Osasuna goalkeeper, who conceded four goals to Real Madrid, wanted to vindicate himself in his own way after saving a penalty, and this caused tension in the stands, which rallied against him. The booing died down after Herrera's own apology.

It was the 84th minute when Joselu was about to take a penalty. Herrera, in an exercise in coolness, held on until the last moment to guess the Spanish international's intentions and save the penalty. After the action was over, he exploded in jubilation, and went to celebrate by pointing the ball directly at one of the Santiago Bernabéu's stands.

The crowd's reaction was immediate. The attitude of the Osasuna goalkeeper did not sit well at all, and he celebrated by waving to the stands with a mocking gesture. His reaction provoked the crowd to chant a "stupid, stupid" at him during the following play.
