Pablo Maffeo has become a fan favorite at Maiorca, but his candid comments have stirred controversy. The 27-year-old defender has openly admitted to not liking Real Madrid players, citing past incidents on the pitch.
Maffeo’s issues with Real Madrid players stem from what he perceives as disrespect. However, he maintains good relationships with some of them, including Fran GarcÃa and Brahim DÃaz.
On-Field Tensions
Maffeo’s comments came after recent heated matches between Maiorca and Real Madrid. He’s unapologetic about his provocative style, saying it doesn’t bother him. Maffeo also backs referee Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, who faced criticism before the Barcelona-Real Madrid Copa del Rey final.
The defender feels for referees, knowing they’re under pressure from big clubs. He was even featured on Real Madrid TV, but Maffeo shrugged it off, saying he’s not concerned.
Off-Field Ventures
Maffeo also discussed his participation in the Kings League, a decision backed by his club. While some have criticized his involvement, Maffeo defends his choice.
For him, it’s about enjoying the experience. When he’s not on the pitch, Maffeo unwinds by playing PlayStation or spending time with his girlfriend.
