Fans convinced Man Utd legend Rio Ferdinand is secret fan of European giants after telltale sign live on TNT Sports | 415Y61H | 2024-05-11 09:08:01
FOOTBALL fans are convinced Rio Ferdinand is a Real Madrid fan after footage of his reaction to their winning goal against Bayern Munich showed him celebrating wildly.
The 14-time European champions booked their place in the Champions League final on Wednesday night as Joselu scored two late goals to clinch a 3-2 aggregate victory.
Their victory was marred by controversy after Bayern Munich had the ball in the back of the net deep into stoppage time, but the referee had already blown for an incorrect offside call.
As a result, Joselu's second goal proved to be the decisive moment of the match.
And Manchester United legend Ferdinand, 45, could not contain his excitement at pitchside.
Working for TNT Sports, the former England and Manchester United centre-back's celebrations were momentarily cut short when he realised the offside flag had been raised as Antonio Rudiger stormed towards him and the fans.

Everyone inside the Bernabeu then waited as the decision went to VAR, before the goal was given.
And Ferdinand proceeded to go mad when it was confirmed, jumping up and down and pumping his fists.
He then locked eyes with a Real Madrid fan in the front row and gave him a hug.

While a fourth responded: "Has Rio no filter or loyalty?"
And a fifth, possibly referring to United's dismal form since he hung up his boots, said: "Man Utd have never made him this happy as a fan
