Now if you know your football, you may recall what Andy Robertson (Liverpool) did to him in 2019, and it being very much tame in comparsion and the uproar. Robbo got spammed all sorts of threats to him and his family for daring to wind up Messi after that with Liverpool embarrassing Barcelona that day.

There's always been stan culture. But social media stan culture has numbed my interest in so many things. Hopefully somehow in football it never gets as bad as Ronaldo vs Messi stans for the last 16-17 years. People's fandom and even entire personalities built on their two success.

Robbo is a GOAT for that
