Real Madrid fans demand apology from Barcelona after hearing what commentator said about Luka Modric during live broadcast

Real Madrid supporters have demanded that Barcelona issue an apology after hearing what one of their official commentators said during a recent live broadcast.

The Blaugrana trounced South Korean outfit FC Seoul 7-3 on Thursday, with Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres bagging braces and Robert Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen and Gavi all getting in on the act in the high-scoring victory.

New signing Marcus Rashford registered his first assist in Barcelona colours, coming off the bench for a reunion with former Manchester United teammate Jesse Lingard.

The game was shown for free on Barcelona's YouTube channel after issues streaming their first game against Vissel Kobe.

But the commentator for the contest has courted controversy for a remark made about Luka Modric, who has ended his trophy-laden stint with Los Blancos and signed a one-year contract with AC Milan.

Modric could not add another La Liga or Champions League trophy to their collection, while Real also lost to Barca in extra time of the the Copa del Rey final.

Jules Kounde scored the winner, nipping in ahead of Brahim Diaz to intercept and fire in the winner past Thibaut Courtois.

In Thursday's friendly, Barca's commentator referenced that misplaced pass when he joked: “From here, we haven’t given the tribute that Luka Modric deserves. His last great service was the pass to Kounde in the Copa del Rey final."

Real fans took issue with the quip, deeming it to be "classless" after their club website tribute to Barca's legend Andres Iniesta when he retired from football.

The statement said Iniesta "contributed with his football and values to the greatness of this sport" as they wished him and his family well.

One fan on X fumed: "When Iniesta retired, Real Madrid posted a Comunicado Oficial praising his career.Today, Official Barcelona TV: "From here, we haven’t given the tribute that Luka Modric deserves. His last great service was the pass to Kounde in the Copa del Rey final. Classless club."

A second said: "Real Madrid Barcelona I will never ever regret choosing Real Madrid over Barcelona."

A third added: "You can't buy class."

A fourth wrote: "Class is not something you can relate to that club. They were, are and will always be a shadow of Real Madrid!"

Barcelona are back in action on Monday when they take on Daegu in their last friendly in Asia, before hosting Cesc Fabregas' Como in the Joan Gamper Trophy on 10 August.
