Real Madrid’s Epic Troll on Atlético After Quarter-Final Qualification

As has so often been the case, the Madrid derby ended with Real Madrid emerging victorious. After securing their place in the Champions League quarter-finals via a dramatic penalty shootout, Los Blancos once again demonstrated their dominance. To celebrate this monumental win, the club took to X (formerly Twitter) to poke fun at Atlético Madrid in a truly creative way.

In a witty nod to color models CMYK and RGB, Real Madrid introduced a new one labeled “MAD,” followed by a solid white background—implying that Madrid is, and always will be, a white city. This simple yet brilliant move was an iconic way to taunt their fiercest rivals following another historic victory.

With this social media stunt and the triumph on the pitch, Real Madrid reaffirmed a harsh reality for Atlético: they can never truly compete with Los Blancos—especially in the Champions League. This match, like so many before, will be remembered as another chapter in Real Madrid’s storied superiority.

A Well-Deserved Troll

The rivalry’s tension had been building long before kickoff, fueled by social media posts from Atlético players and fans. Confident in their home advantage, the Colchoneros were convinced they could finally defeat Real Madrid. However, despite an early goal from Gallagher, Atlético never truly showed the quality to match their city rivals.

This overconfidence made Real Madrid’s social media jab even more fitting. Time and again, Atlético has been humbled when faced with the reality of competing against the true kings of Madrid.

The One and Only Madrid Club

Despite sharing the same city, Atlético Madrid will never truly be on the same level as Real Madrid, no matter how hard they try. Beyond being a celebration for Madridistas, this victory served as yet another painful lesson for their rivals—one they won’t soon forget.
