This past Saturday, a television show called ‘Em Casa d’Amália’ was broadcast from Estremoz. It featured a trio of popular singers: António Zambujo, Luís Trigacheiro, and Buba Espinho. They were performing Zambujo’s well-known song, ‘Zorro.’ But something unexpected happened during the performance, and it immediately lit up social media.
Buba Espinho, known for his playful spirit, decided to change some of the song’s words. He was trying to make a joke, but his new lyrics pointed right at a big football argument. It was about a controversial moment from the Portuguese Cup final, involving two players, Matheus Reis and Belotti.
The original song has a line that goes: “I want to be your number ten, have all of Benfica at my feet, grab your attention.” But when it was Buba Espinho’s turn, he swapped “have all of Benfica at my feet” for something else. He sang, “have Belotti under my feet.” This unexpected change got the audience laughing, but some people also looked a bit worried.
Quickly, the singer from the Alentejo region tried to clear things up. He wanted everyone to know which football club he supported. “I’m a Benfica fan, huh!” he called out loudly. His quick defense was a clear sign of how deep football rivalries run, even for artists on stage.
The moment quickly found its way online. Fans shared clips and commented on the bold lyrical switch. The online chatter just proved that even a lighthearted joke about a football incident can grab headlines.
