FC Barcelona, however, had to wait a while before registering the Brazilian talent. Its accountants worked hard to register Vitor for their La Liga squad. FC Barcelona has been under the ravages of financial difficulties for some time and finds it difficult to register their players.

The Catalan club’s plight was the laughing stock for the Real Madrid fans. The fans from the rival club brutally trolled FC Barcelona for celebrating the registration of Vitor Roque on the social media platform, X. ‘Los Blancos’ came up with some hilarious ways to joke about Barcelona’s tight financial condition.
Real Madrid fans mock the registration of Vitor Roque
The user ‘idoxvi’ was appalled at the drop in standards at Barca. The club which once supported Champions League and La Liga titles, is now hysterically celebrating the registration of an 18-year-old. “They’re celebrating registering their players”, the X user wrote. The financial constraints at ‘La Blaugrana’ have surely impacted the social media behavior of the Catalan club.

An X user by the name of ‘bacanpancakes’ jokingly said that the Club was using its social media earnings to fund its players. The user brutally trolled the club by writing, “The twitter engagement fee was used to register him.” FC Barcelona’s budget is often reduced by La Liga authorities, This is partly due to the financial irregularities that took place in the Josep Bartomeu era.
The ‘X’ user ‘UTDiz’ called FC Barcelona a ‘Dusted club.’ Surely, the Catalan club hasn’t enjoyed much success in recent years. It qualified for the UEFA Champions League knockouts for the first time in three years in the 23/24 season. The only major trophy that the club has won in recent memory is the 22/23 La Liga. Added to this, is the club’s amusing social media antics that make their rival fans scratch their heads in shock.
One ‘X’ user by the name of ‘Sid2cobra’ adopted an apologetic tone in his tweet. The ‘Culer’ requested the Real Madrid fans to let the Barca fans enjoy the small achievement of Victor Roque’s enjoyment. He wrote, “Allow it man, we been in trenches for so long every little positive thing is an achievement for us now.” According to the user, FC Barcelona has been able to reward their fans for their loyalty.
You celebrated guler scoring goals in training😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The user mocked the fact that Real Madrid’s summer 2023 signing Arda Guler has been out injured for so long. ‘real12333’ wrote, “You celebrated guler scoring goals in training.” Real Madrid’s new Turkish signing Arda Guler has still not made his debut for ‘Los Blancos’ due to his injury problems.

The Xavi-led FC Barcelona are currently way behind league leaders and arch-rivals Real Madrid. ‘La Blaugrana’ is 10 points adrift at the top and cannot afford to drop points anymore. The fans would expect Vitor Roque, their new signing to be clinical in front of the box in their quest for their La Liga title.
