Football can make you cry. But sometimes, it also changes lives—even after a lost Clasico.

Clasico: A Barça fan loses his bet and pulls off this move (video)

Before Sunday’s Clásico, a devoted FC Barcelona supporter made a bold promise: he would give 50,000 to an artist if Real Madrid won the match.

In Côte d’Ivoire, the Clasico showdown between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona went far beyond the pitch, sparking an unexpected act of generosity. Ahead of the game, a Catalan fan showed his confidence in Barça by pledging 50,000 CFA francs to Ivorian artist A'Salfo if Real came out on top.

On Sunday, Real clinched a 2-1 victory over Barça. That’s when the lead singer of Magic System reminded the supporter to honor his word—but suggested an even nobler gesture: to donate the money to a local woman to help her small business.

The Barça fan agreed—and went even further! Instead of 50,000 CFA francs, he donated 100,000 CFA francs to a smoked fish vendor to support her business.

This initiative is yet another example of football’s power to unite beyond rivalries and inspire acts of solidarity. A heartwarming story that proves—even in defeat—passion can lift an entire community.
