Despite the huge audience recorded on the Twitch platform on Saturday, the event which brought together Spanish and French content creators was met with a negative outcome from Madrid.

On Saturday around 7pm almost one million viewers (990,000 at the same time) connected to the streaming platform Contraction to follow “Eleven All Stars 2” live, an event organized by Spanish and French streamers. As a reminder, a “streamer” is originally a person who broadcasts their video games live Youtube or other dedicated platforms.

Among the most popular streamers in France, Michou (10 million subscribers on YouTube), Inoxtag (8.63 million), the duo McFly and Carlito (7.41 million) or even Amine, from his nickname “AmineMaTue” (1, 87 million subscribers), then took part in the event which took the form of a football match between the most followed Spanish and French content creators on the Internet.

Settlement of scores after the meeting

A true popular phenomenon, the match between Spain and France kept all its promises in terms of audience, with almost 35,000 fans (of which 1,500 French) present in the stands of the Atlético Madrid stadium, in the heart of the Spanish capital. Problem, the controversies have been going on for 48 hours and the final whistle has been given.

Boos from Marseilles, monkey mimes towards the French, very questionable refereeing, scuffles on the pitch… The match – of an overall low level given that the players are far from professional level – had already ended in a fiasco. However, the French, led by their coach of the evening Saïd (“Saïd Pieds Carrés”), arrived at the Metropolitan stadium with a smile, very relaxed. And they did not hesitate to get their messages across before the start of hostilities, like Yannou and Alonz, seen with a Palestinian flag on the sidelines.

But what was once a simple football match soon took a turn for the worse. Symbolized by the stupidity of a Spanish “fan”, guilty of racist gestures towards the French streamer Brawks, who was on the pitch while the 57th minute was played. Moment chosen by the referee and the players of the two teams to temporarily leave the pitch, after an hour of brawl with wasted opportunities and strong tackles.

Finally, after about ten minutes of interruption, the 90 minutes of play came to an end. But since then, the post-match has only reignited tensions between the two sides, who had faced each other for the first time two years ago at the Jean-Bouin stadium in Paris, winning 2-0 for the French. This time the Tricolores lost (by the same score) and regret the repeated incidents.

I feel sorry for the poor Spaniards. Their content creator is a cockroach

The French streamer Amine

“I tell you there is no such thing as a good thing. People expected it to be good but there isn’t a good one. We were disrespected, there was racism, we were not defended by the creator of the racist event, we were not defended by the creator of the event. There will not be a third game. Lack of respect, trust problem… there is no beauty, I’m dead” regretted Amine, captain of the French team, live on Sunday on his Twitch channel.

Before directly attacking the Spanish streamer DJMariio, captain of the opposing side: “This little bitch… takes the mic, acts shy… when it’s to party, to act smart, to talk shit, then she gets it. But when it comes to giving a moral to racism, he remains paralyzed. Are you kidding? This guy is not a good person. (…) This guy sucks. You have the chance to have an event at the Metropolitano, you have acquaintances from everywhere, footballers… take your fingers off, do something clean! Long live the people! I feel sorry for the poor Spaniards. Their content creator is a cockroach. And that disgusted me.” Environment.

A French fan in hospital

Very upset, Amine also announced that a French fan broke his arm following an intervention by stadium security. “There was a French fan who complained, he created a bit of problems, because he said it wasn’t normal, they threw things at him, they insulted him or there was racism.he detailed live videos with his fan community. I don’t have all the details. And instead of looking for the why and the how, you have the security, they confirm to me that it was the security that broke the fan’s arm. He ended up in hospital after the match.

In this difficult context, the “Eleven All Stars” between Spain and France will not reserve a third work. “I want to set the record straight with the team and organize a great event for youconcluded Amine, talking about his next deadlines in 2025. You’ll see. I promise you, guys, you will “eat” and not just football. I know some people come not just for the football but also for the entertainment. Be ready, year 2025. We will do things for the French and only for the French. This does not mean that there will be no foreigners, but if we feel that it is not satisfactory for us and for the French public, we will not go. End of story.”

A gala match against Lionel Messi?

For the anecdote, the French streamer told last week that a meeting between his French team and the Argentine one would take place in 2023, shortly after Argentina’s coronation against the Blues (3-3, 4-2 tab ) during the “Real” Football World Cup, in Qatar in December 2022. “We had to play France-Argentina, I had three stadiums pending in France. It was Agüero (former Argentine international and Manchester City player) the team captain because he became a streamer, “AmineMaTue” revealed. We were supposed to play the return match a month and a half later, in the stadium where Agüero started playing with his first team (CA Independiente). And Messi had to be there. Lionel Messi on the pitch against the most loved French streamers? The idea now seems to have fallen by the wayside. Unless “Team France” has a new surprise in store, once the sad incidents of this weekend have been digested.
