In the second Clasico of the last five days, Real Madrid picked up right where they left off in their 3-1 second-leg win at Barcelona on Tuesday to advance to the Copa del Rey final. Karim Benzema opened the decidedly less important La Liga edition with a goal in the sixth minute, but Lionel Messi was able to snap his inexcusable streak of one whole match without a goal by scoring in the 18th minute.
As Barcelona celebrated the equalizer, Jordi Alba was caught giving the Bernabeu a middle finger salute (it looks like it might be his index finger in the picture, but it isn't). This, of course, was met by immediate outrage in certain corners of the Internet.
I'm counting at least six middle fingers from the crowd in that picture alone (plus a pair of horns). As a professional, Alba should be able to hold back the urge to retaliate. Then again, this is apparently a guy who still gets driven to training by his dad everyday.
