Influencer boxer goes viral after holding up Lionel Messi's shirt in front of 85,000 fans at Real Madrid's stadium to celebrate win

As 85,000 fans sat in the audience to watch the La Velada de año IV influencer boxing card, the streamer known as 'La Cobra' may have stolen the show. His performance in his win over 'Guanyar' was not as impressive as his post-fight act that riled up the crowd.

The event was held in the iconic Santiago Bernabeu stadium, home of the Real Madrid football club. In the co-main event, 'La Cobra' snuck past his opponent 'Guanyar' before holding up a Lionel Messi jersey in front of the crowd, recreating the football star's classic moment.

While Messi currently plays for Inter Miami CF of the Major League Soccer, the football legend spent most of his career with FC Barcelona, where he was a crucial part of several rivalry games against Real Madrid.

The Barcelona jersey from 'La Cobra' predictably ignited a reaction from the crowd. The influencer wore the jersey walking out to the ring before holding it up in arrogant bliss after defeating 'Guanyar' by TKO.

Real Madrid vs. FC Barcelona rivalry

As the two most historic Spanish football clubs, the bad blood between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona earned the title 'El Clásico' in the early 1900s due to the deep history between them.

While the rivalry originated in the 1930s, the feud still goes strong in the 21st century. As the longtime leader and captain of Barcelona, Lionel Messi was a key part of keeping 'El Clásico' alive in the 2010s with his back-and-forth battles with Real Madrid.

In one of the most iconic moments of recent 'El Clásico' history, Messi scored a late goal in extra time to win the game in 2017 for Barcelona in the Santiago Bernabeu. After going the length of the field to score the winning goal, Messi took off his jersey and held it up to the stunned crowd.
