Ghanaian comic actor Yaw Dabo has once again reminded fans how deep his love for football runs, especially when it comes to his beloved Spanish side, Real Madrid. In a trending video that surfaced on April 16, 2025, the Kumawood star couldn't hold back his emotions after Real Madrid suffered a painful exit at the hands of Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
The actor, who is widely known for his hilarious football commentary and dramatic reactions, was seen in the clip sobbing uncontrollably while holding tightly to a Real Madrid jersey. His heartbreak was obvious as he lamented the defeat, blaming it not just on Arsenal’s performance but also on the intense rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona, which he believes is fuelled by resentment.
In his emotional outburst, Dabo called out Barcelona fans, metaphorically referring to the club as “Yaa Asantewaa Girls,” implying that their constant criticism and competitive spirit have weighed heavily on his favourite team. He suggested that the hate directed at Real Madrid by rival supporters is partly to blame for the club's inability to push through to the semifinals. With a tearful voice, he claimed that while Barcelona boasts only a few Champions League wins, they continue to target Madrid unfairly.
Yaw Dabo further took a jab at Arsenal, the club responsible for Madrid's exit, declaring that despite their current form, they will still not succeed in winning the Champions League title. For him, the pain of defeat was not just about losing a match but about watching his team fall to a side he doesn't consider a threat to the European trophy legacy.
In the latter part of the video, Dabo sang “Never Give Up” passionately while clutching the Real Madrid badge on his shirt—a symbol of unwavering loyalty. He ended his monologue by promising that Real Madrid will rise again and that no amount of hate or rivalry can dim their historic legacy. The video quickly gained traction across social media platforms, with fans of both clubs reacting with empathy, support, and, in some cases, laughter.
Fans flooded the comment section to share their thoughts, with many encouraging Dabo to stay hopeful for next season. A few rival fans teased him light-heartedly, while some Real Madrid supporters echoed his sentiments and expressed confidence in the team’s comeback in the next campaign.
This heartfelt moment by the actor not only highlighted the passionate football culture in Ghana but also demonstrated how deeply fans can connect with their favourite teams. Whether in celebration or defeat, football continues to unite and stir emotions like few things can.
