Argentina's emphatic 4-1 victory over Brazil in the South American World Cup qualifiers was not only about goals and football dominance—it also delivered some viral fan moments. One of the most talked-about incidents was a provocative chant from the Albiceleste supporters aimed at Brazilian winger Raphinha, who had stirred controversy before the match.

🗣️ "Put Raphinha in, you son of a b****"

During the second half at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires, as Argentina comfortably led the scoreboard, the home fans began chanting loudly:

"¡Poné a Raphinha, la p... que te parió!"
A mocking reference to the Barcelona forward’s pre-match statement, in which he claimed Brazil would give Argentina "a beating on and off the pitch."

The chant echoed throughout the stadium and quickly went viral on social media. Several videos showed thousands of fans singing in unison, mocking Raphinha’s words after Argentina’s dominant display.

On-field clashes and heated tension

Tensions didn’t remain in the stands. During the game, Raphinha clashed with Nicolás Otamendi, who told him to "talk less." After the final whistle, the Brazilian was also involved in a confrontation with Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez and Leandro Paredes, and had to be restrained by teammate Endrick to avoid escalation.

Argentina’s win came with goals from Julián Álvarez, Enzo Fernández, Alexis Mac Allister, and Giuliano Simeone. Beyond the scoreline, it served as a direct response to Raphinha’s pre-game comments—delivered not through words, but with football.

🗣️ Post-match reactions

Players like Álvarez and Rodrigo De Paul chose not to fuel the controversy, instead praising the team’s performance. Raphinha, notably, did not speak to the media after the match.

The Argentina vs Brazil rivalry is one of football’s most heated, where every statement and every gesture matters. In this case, the fans took matters into their own hands, reminding Raphinha that in this rivalry, talk is cheap—and football speaks louder.
