Jenni Hermoso, a player for the Spanish national team and former FC Barcelona player, has once again become a topic of discussion on social media. Considered a true legend in Women's Barça, Jenni Hermoso won everything with the blaugrana club and was a key figure during the team's golden years. However, her recent social media post has sparked a controversy that hasn't gone down well with the culé fans.
From Barcelona to the Mexican League
After a glorious period at FC Barcelona, Jenni decided to embark on a new adventure in the Mexican League, where she is currently thriving and showcasing her quality as a player. There, she appears happy, focused on her career, and away from the media spotlight that has followed her over the past year.
It's worth remembering that the player was at the center of controversy due to the non-consensual kiss from Luis Rubiales. This episode marked her career and was a subject of debate worldwide.
The Nod to Real Madrid That Sparks the Storm
This time, Jenni Hermoso has stirred controversy with a post congratulating Vinícius Júnior, Real Madrid's star, for winning the The Best award. The Brazilian, although he didn't win the Ballon d'Or, was honored with this prestigious recognition, and many sports figures were quick to congratulate him.
Among those figures was Jenni, who shared a photo with the Madrid player on her social media. The image hasn't gone unnoticed and has provoked a wave of criticism from Barça fans.
Many consider it inappropriate for such a representative figure of Barcelona to publicly congratulate a player from the eternal rival, especially someone like Vinícius. The Real Madrid player generates rejection among many fans due to his provocative behavior.
Divisions Among the Fans
The reactions haven't taken long. Some defend Jenni Hermoso's right to congratulate whomever she deems fit, while others see this gesture as a lack of respect for her history at Barça. "It's not just a Madrid player, it's someone who doesn't respect Barça," commented a user on social media.
A new focus of attention for Jenni in a year full of controversies, this latest action once again puts Hermoso in the eye of the storm. Although her intention was surely to show courtesy and sportsmanship, the context of the eternal rivalry between Barça and Madrid means that any gesture is scrutinized closely.
