An Unexpected Fan at the Metropolitano
The Copa del Rey semi-final between Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona at the Metropolitano was a Rojiblanco party with almost 70,000 souls supporting the team.
Among the crowd, a figure surprised everyone: Jiri Letacek, Getafe’s substitute goalkeeper, was spotted wearing an Atleti scarf! Letacek, who had already stepped on the Metropolitano’s pitch this season as Getafe’s goalkeeper, both in La Liga and Copa, decided to experience the passion from the stands.
First as a substitute in La Liga and then as a starter in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. The image of the Azulón goalkeeper with the Rojiblanca scarf has caused a stir, especially among Getafe fans.
Perhaps Letacek, after seeing Atleti from the bench and between the posts, wanted to experience the unique atmosphere of the Metropolitano from a fan’s perspective. What no one expected is that he did it showing his support to the Colchoneros team. Undoubtedly, a curious anecdote that demonstrates the magic of Atleti and its ability to conquer hearts, even among rivals.
