Viral videos: Hernán Castillo wrote off Belgrano's champions, apologised

Sports journalist Hernán Castillo discredited Belgrano de Córdoba’s players with controversial remarks after the club was crowned champion against River Plate. During his streaming show «Y ya lo ve» (Love St), he tried to criticize River’s poor performance by belittling the Córdoba squad’s physical and footballing abilities.

The controversial quotes

In his editorial analysis, Castillo fired harsh individual insults at Belgrano’s key players:

Franco “Mudo” Vázquez: He wrongly claimed that he “was playing in China six months ago” and that “that’s how he tackled an 18-year-old kid.” It should be noted that the player has never played in that country’s league.
Lucas Zelarayán: He said the attacking midfielder “just stands around.”
Nicolás “Uvita” Fernández: He made a remark about his weight, saying that he is “fatter than me.”
Lucas Passerini: He criticized his movement, arguing that he only “plays three meters this way and three meters that way.”

Lucas Passerini’s very harsh response

Belgrano striker and top scorer Lucas Passerini responded bluntly on social media while celebrating the title in the victory parade: »Shut your fucking mouth! Spiteful comments!»

The forward’s forceful reply immediately went viral and sparked strong backlash from the community and Belgrano fans against the Buenos Aires journalist. Faced with the massive wave of criticism, Hernán Castillo had to publicly apologize for his remarks.
