[VIDEO] 'Cucurella, go Cucurella': O'Higgins fans mock Argentina at La Bombonera

Despite their team's defeat in the Copa Sudamericana playoffs against Boca Juniors, fans of the Chilean club O'Higgins engaged in a unique form of provocation at Buenos Aires' iconic La Bombonera stadium. They directed a chant at the Argentinian team, referencing a moment from the 2026 World Cup final.

The supporters chanted "Dale Cucurella," a reference to Spanish player Marc Cucurella. During the World Cup final, Cucurella was involved in an incident where he appeared to cover his mouth while speaking to Argentinian star Lionel Messi, a moment that became a talking point of the match.

This playful, yet pointed, taunt from the O'Higgins fans aimed to needle the Argentinian squad and their supporters by recalling a potentially awkward or controversial interaction involving their captain. The chant served as a reminder of the World Cup final, even amidst their team's current playoff loss.

The incident highlights the passionate and often creative ways football fans express their rivalries and memories, using specific moments from past games to fuel their chants and engage with opposing supporters, even in defeat.
