Luís Figo loses patience with Sporting fan, calls him "daft" | OneFootball

Luís Figo turned 53 on Tuesday and Sporting decided to mark the occasion with a post on social media. The message ended up sparking heated reactions. In the comments, many Sporting fans didn’t miss the chance to recall the controversial transfer of the player to Barcelona in 1995, as well as the moment he celebrated a goal against Sporting while playing for Inter Milan.

“Stay away from Alvalade, please,” reacted one commenter on Sporting’s tribute. Figo saw the response and replied immediately: “Because you want me to, right? Fool.” The exchange didn’t stop there and the fan retorted: “Luisinho, a fool is always a fool, no matter how much you try to dress him up.” Figo fired back: “You must be talking about yourself or a family member, Antoninho.”

Figo was also called a “pesetero” in another comment, which he didn’t leave unanswered. “Another one who’s lost,” he wrote. But the harshest exchange happened when a fan commented: “Just thinking that I support Sporting because of a player who has zero appreciation for the clubs he’s played for makes me want to vomit!”, to which Figo replied, “Careful you don’t throw up on yourself…”

Luís Figo, who recently shone in a legends match, did all his youth training at the Alvalade club and, from 1990 to 1995, played for the senior team. Wearing the green and white stripes, the former footballer scored 23 goals in 155 matches, winning the Portuguese Cup in the 1994/1995 season.

He then left Sporting for Barcelona in Spain, before transferring to Real Madrid in 2000, and to Inter in 2005. In 2000, he won the much-coveted Ballon d’Or, cementing his status as one of the greatest Portuguese players of all time.
