After Crvena Zvezda’s loss to Barcelona, Timi Max Elšnik’s witty comment about scoring more goals than Real Madrid made waves, earning admiration from Barcelona fans.
Timi Max Elšnik, a Slovenian international and Crvena Zvezda player, gave an interview following his team’s loss to Barcelona that caught the attention of the Spanish press. Elšnik, known for his sharp wit in front of the microphone, praised Barcelona and its roster of exceptional players, but also managed to throw a subtle dig at Real Madrid.
Referring to Barcelona’s recent 4-0 El Clasico victory over Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, Elšnik cleverly incorporated it into his post-match remarks.
