In recent days, a viral trend on TikTok has taken over, featuring videos where someone trips or gets injured out of nowhere, followed by a referee awarding a penalty in favor of Real Madrid. Yesterday, this meme broke out of the football world.
Details: The official US Open Grand Slam account joined the trend by posting a video in which Daniil Medvedev falls after hitting a ball, followed by the now-iconic clip of a commentator saying, "Penalti al favor del Real Madrid."
The video quickly went viral, amassing over 400,000 likes and more than 21,000 shares in just one day. Users have left over 3,400 comments on the post.
Reminder: This meme gained widespread popularity after Real Madrid scored penalties in three consecutive La Liga matches—against Betis, Real Sociedad, and Espanyol.
Yesterday, Carlo Ancelotti’s team let a late lead slip in their derby against Atletico Madrid, drawing 1-1.
