Another lesson in ‘Derby Instructions’ from Atletico Madrid against Real Madrid | OneFootball

Atletico Madrid have been stirring up quite the buzz on social media after responding to Real Madrid’s strong statements about refereeing decisions.

With a series of witty tweets, the club has taken a humorous approach to address the ongoing tensions.

After two earlier instalments aimed at mocking Real Madrid’s perceived strategy for the Madrid derby, Atletico have now released a third chapter—this time focused on its own fans.

In the first instalment, Atletico hinted at how Real Madrid was allegedly trying to influence referees by “using their official television platform.”

The second jab suggested that they relied on “an army of supportive journalists to spread their views.” The third instalment, however, took a light-hearted turn, guiding Atletico fans on how to enjoy a draw.

Recent attack

The club encouraged supporters to appreciate “a point is a point,” remember their loyalty to Atletico regardless of the result, wear their team shirts proudly on Sunday, and approach the game with humour.

This playful tone seems aimed at easing the tension after a week filled with heated exchanges.

In addition to the social media posts, Atletico amusingly sought linguistic advice from the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE).

The club asked for clarification on terms like “press,” “intimidate,” and “influence” in what appeared to be a satirical reference to Real Madrid’s alleged tactics.

On Friday, Atletico wrapped up the week with a seemingly sincere message, offering support and solidarity to the refereeing team and their families. They acknowledged the difficult moments faced by the football community, urging everyone to stay strong.

As tensions continue to simmer, it remains uncertain whether Atletico will keep up its playful social media campaign in the days ahead.

One thing is clear—this humorous approach has certainly captured the attention of football fans, providing a refreshing twist to the usual heated rivalry narrative.
