Messi and Dibu Martínez Murals Defaced With Anti-AFA Graffiti After Morón’s Elimination

Deportivo Morón supporters targeted the tributes to denounce AFA leadership after a contentious match in Puerto Madryn.

Overview

  • Images of the defaced tributes circulated on social media, showing phrases such as “Chiqui mafia” and “Toviggino delincuentes” painted over the murals.
  • Supporters described the vandalism as a protest after club leaders minimized refereeing errors by saying officials can make mistakes.
  • Morón were knocked out of the Reducido on sporting advantage after an expulsion, and players and staff later alleged assaults by Deportivo Madryn players and police.
  • Reports said no sanctions were issued against the alleged aggressors, and no formal response from the AFA was noted in the coverage.
  • The promotion playoff proceeds without Morón, with Deportivo Madryn facing Estudiantes de Río Cuarto on November 22 and November 30.
