  • Marcelo Díaz posted an image of the wine “Alboroto,” which some Universidad de Chile fans read as a disguised reference to Colo-Colo.
  • Fans pointed to the label’s stylized lettering and Díaz’s use of a hand-sign emoji associated with Universidad de Chile supporters.
  • The post came about two and a half weeks after Díaz had posted a derogatory reference to Colo-Colo before the Superclásico.

Marcelo Díaz has stirred another debate among Chilean football fans with an Instagram post featuring a bottle of wine called “Alboroto.” Some Universidad de Chile supporters interpreted the image as a fresh message aimed at Colo-Colo.

Their reading focused on the wine label’s design. The letter R is turned around, making the name appear to some fans as “Albo Roto,” a phrase they saw as a deliberate play on Colo-Colo’s nickname.

Díaz also replied to a comment with an emoji showing the index and little fingers raised. Universidad de Chile fans traditionally use that gesture to imitate the letter U. He later restricted comments on the story.

The publication appeared around two and a half weeks after another disparaging story from Díaz before the Superclásico. In that post, he referred to Colo-Colo as “las Z,” invoking the insult “zorras,” a term used by rival supporters to demean the team.
