Atlético Madrid Hero: Julián Álvarez and the Curious Reaction of His Couple, With Whom He Is Expecting a Baby
Emilia Ferrero’s reaction went viral after she walked out before Julián Álvarez’s penalty in Atlético Madrid’s 5-2 win over Real Madrid.
Emilia Ferrero’s Viral Reaction Shocks the Derby Crowd
The Madrid Derby was full of drama — and not just on the pitch. Emilia Ferrero, couple of Argentine striker Julián Álvarez, became the unexpected star of the night after walking out of the VIP box just moments before her boyfriend took a crucial penalty.
The clash between Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid ended in a stunning 5-2 victory for the home side, with Álvarez leading the charge with two goals. But it was Ferrero’s decision to leave her seat during the most tense moment of the game that sent social media into a frenzy.
The Penalty That Changed the Game
In the 51st minute, the referee pointed to the spot after a controversial challenge inside the box. Julián Álvarez known as “La Araña” stepped up to take the shot. While the entire Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano held its breath, Emilia Ferrero quietly left the VIP section.
“If he has to take a penalty, it makes me so nervous,” she had admitted before the game. And she stayed true to her word — she didn’t watch. Seconds later, Álvarez converted the spot-kick, giving Atlético a 3-2 lead and sparking wild celebrations in the stands.
The Video That Took Over Social Media
The moment Ferrero left the box was captured by Agustín Creevy, former captain of Los Pumas and a close friend of the Álvarez family. The clip quickly spread across social media, amassing thousands of views and sparking a wave of memes and reactions.
Fans sympathized with Ferrero’s nerves, with many saying they would have done the same. Others praised the couple’s authenticity, turning what could have been a private moment into one of the night’s most talked-about highlights.
A Dream Night for Julián Álvarez
While Ferrero’s reaction went viral, Álvarez’s performance was the real headline. The Argentine striker was unstoppable, scoring a brace and playing a key role in Atlético de Madrid’s emphatic win over their city rivals.
Fresh off a hat-trick against Rayo Vallecano, Álvarez has now scored five goals in two matches, making him one of the most in-form players in La Liga. His clinical finish in the second half sealed the 5-2 scoreline and sent the home crowd into absolute chaos.
