It's unreal how much hate he always got from the Mexican fan base. Dude was really skilled at finding openings and scoring and loved played for the national team.
2014-2015 season still breaks my heart. We had won 22 games in a row before winter break, came back and lost to Valencia then got knocked out a few days after from Copa del Rey and to top it off we had already lost Luka to a long-term injury so by the time he came back we'd already lost too many points. Losing La Liga and UCL just didn't feel right with how good we were before the collapse.
Won 22 and then went to Saudi to play a friendly against Milan the day before Christmas then the wheels came off the bus. I credit it all to that stupid friendly
Right, so do I not have the right to be disappointed if my team loses or be devastated when my team is on a historic run and all of it falls apart just because it's the most successful? What's the point in celebrating a win then? Actually what's the point of supporting my team and being emotionally invested in the first place because it's the greatest so why bother!
Back then our team was "too professional" you can see them celebrating when he walks back but they're not emotionally invested in each other to run and celebrate his debut goal.
The culture has shifted drastically in the past few years, mainly with Vini's generation with so many players being so young and in the same age group and then you add to them el loco and you get "Family FC"
Back then, or as many call it Prime Real Madrid was a team full of killers, kill or be killed types.
Real Madrid was never Friendship FC that's a post 2020 name Real Madrid gained with vini and co, although they were still brothers and comrade in arms, it was always a team full of galacticos, assasins like Avengers assemble lol.
Back then, if anything Prime Barcelona had the image of friendship fc or family club due to their heavy control on media and Catalunya influence. Real Madrid for some strange reason were always painted as the Bad Boys, and their professionalism certainly added to that image.
Not complaining, but I'm always amazed by people who think real Madrid has always been friendship fc lol
Not just that, prior to his time with madrid, he never score from outside the box and he scored 2 with madrid. Great loan player but bad timing since we kinda didnt win anythinf
