Spain's Euro 2024 celebrations have ignited controversy as Manchester City midfielder Rodri chanted 'Gibraltar is Spanish' during the victory rally in Madrid. The Gibraltar government and Football Association condemned the remarks as offensive and provocative, leading to plans for an official complaint to UEFA. The incident, which saw widespread social media attention, has also drawn criticism from various commentators who view it as an unnecessary politicization of a sporting event. Despite teammate Alvaro Morata reminding Rodri of his English club association, Rodri's nonchalant response further fueled the backlash. The sensitive political status of Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory, makes the chant particularly contentious. Some conservative Spanish politicians, however, defended the chant, highlighting the divided opinions on the matter.
