The flower incident: Giménez's reaction and the Atlético's 'zingers' to Bayer
The Atlético de Madrid’s match against Bayer Leverkusen was marked by an unpleasant gesture from the German team towards a symbol of the red and white team. During Hincapié’s goal, Frimpong kicked a bouquet of flowers at the Metropolitano, which prompted a quick reaction from Giménez. Fans were outraged by the unnecessary detail and the official Atlético account in English responded with ironic and challenging messages on social media, including a photo of Julián Álvarez and a meme.
