Llorente's cheeky discount code jibe after Atleti thump Mallorca
Marcos Llorente had the last laugh in a social media exchange with Mallorca, offering a special discount on his red glasses after Atletico Madrid's 3-0 victory.
Marcos Llorente turned a pre-match social media wind-up into a masterclass in football banter after Atletico Madrid put Mallorca to the sword.
Red Glasses and Red Faces
It all kicked off when Mallorca decided to have a bit of fun before their clash with Atletico Madrid. The islanders posted a cheeky tweet showing Vedat Muriqi, Leo Román and Omar Mascarell sporting red-tinted glasses – a not-so-subtle dig at the distinctive eyewear that Marcos Llorente both wears and flogs through his business ventures.
But after Atleti handed Mallorca their papers with a comfortable 3-0 victory, Llorente wasn’t about to let the pre-match banter slide without a response.
The Perfect Comeback
Once the final whistle had gone, Llorente took to Instagram with a photo of himself alongside teammates Álex Baena and Pablo Barrios – all wearing his signature red glasses. The caption was absolutely chef’s kiss material:
“Today and tomorrow you get a 20% discount with the code: MALLORCA20”
Talk about having the last laugh! The post was clearly a playful retort to Mallorca’s earlier social media jab, and Llorente’s Atletico teammates were quick to pile on in the comments:
- Giuliano Simeone responded with “How I love them”
- Juan Musso and Nahuel Molina added laughing emojis
Social Media Winners and Losers
What started as Mallorca trying to get inside Atletico’s heads before the match ended with Llorente delivering the knockout blow both on the pitch and online. It’s the sort of light-hearted exchange that makes Spanish football’s social media presence so entertaining.
The Mallorca marketing team might be having a right mare this morning, but fair play to Llorente for taking it all in good spirits and responding with wit rather than aggro. That’s proper class from the Atleti man.
Three points in the bag and winning the social media battle? Not a bad day’s work for Marcos Llorente and Atletico Madrid.
