"How the League's seconds train,"

This was the message from Hristo Stoichkov on his Instagram account, along with the image of pigs playing with a soccer ball. The Bulgarian idol and former Barcelona player from the 90s mocked the second place position held by Real Madrid in the La Liga.

And obviously, this generated controversy and discussion among all the fans of the Madrid team, who were offended and responded to the photo posted by the former player. We are still awaiting the official response from the White House team.

The mockery is similar to that of any fan towards their classic rival, however being done by a recognized football player worldwide, it has caused a stir and has been commented on in Spain as well as in different countries around the world.
