FC Porto fans split over Francisco Moura on social media | OneFootball

Francisco Moura had a night to forget at the Dragão. Not included in Francesco Farioli’s starting eleven for the classic against Sporting, the FC Porto left-back came on in the 84th minute and, already in stoppage time, committed a foul that led to a penalty and the equalizer – Luis Suárez missed the conversion (Diogo Costa saved), but scored on the rebound.

After making the mistake, the player was visibly dejected and was consoled by the blue and white technical staff. However, some fans showed little understanding on social media, criticizing and attacking Francisco Moura in old posts by the defender after the decisive moment.

“Want to make us happy? Please leave this club,” “You ballerina, f…,” “More is expected, bro, this isn’t just about getting paid at the end of the month! This isn’t Famalicão, don’t stay asleep… you’ve been here long enough to know what our club represents. Many dream of being in your place so start valuing it,” were some of the reactions.

“Childish! It’s not the first or second time!” wrote another user, alluding to his responsibility in the first goal against Casa Pia. “Useless player, big s…,” “Weak,” “Out,” “You could have used your body to intercept the ball, but you just had to stick your arm out… For God’s sake,” were other comments.

There were also messages defending the footballer. “Only someone who doesn’t like sports could come here to insult an athlete who must already be feeling down for making a mistake… Is anyone infallible? It’s a mistake that shouldn’t have happened in a game like this, especially at that stage of the match, it’s true… But mistreating someone like this because they made a mistake seems unreasonable to me… As Porto fans, we need to know how to behave and stand by our own when things go wrong, not just when they’re heroes!” read one, as well as: “Leave him alone” and “Regardless of the mistake, it’s shameful to come to the guy’s page to insult him.”
