Fermin Lopez embarrasses Barcelona, ​​watches the match on a pirate site and risks suspension – Football

Certainly not an unforgettable return from vacation for Fermin Lopezmidfielder of the Barcelona and the Spanish national team. European champion and gold medalist at the Paris Games, Fermin missed the first day of the championship last Saturday against Valencia, beaten at Mestalla by Barcelona 2-1.

The match seen on TV

To show his closeness to the club, the 21-year-old posted a photo on Instagram while watching the match from home. Good intentions, compromised by one detail. Followers immediately noticed that the footballer was using a pirate site. After a few minutes, Fermin erased historyreplacing it with one without references to illegal platforms. Too late to escape a real social storm.

The risk of disqualification

But the consequences could go beyond jokes and memes on the web. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that disqualification of two or more days. More likely, however, a simple reprimand. In any case, not the best way to introduce yourself to the new coach Hansi Flick. He will certainly be disappointed as well Javier Tebaspresident of La Liga, who is at the forefront of the fight against digital piracy. A few hours earlier, the number one in the championship had written on X: “They are falling. Some joke about piracy, but then the pain will come. We will put an end to these thieves”.

The president had attached to the message an article reporting the arrest of two brothers, sentenced to 11 years in prison for running an illegal streaming system for the broadcast of the Premier League.
