The characters of
Chavo del 8
are world-known and it is not strange to find merchandising from the historic Mexican program created by Roberto Gómez Bolaños in any corner of the world.
However, what seemed impossible was
to find a flag of Mr. Barriga on the Fortaleza field
, in the middle of the classic against
Ceará,
for the Cearense Championship in Brazil.
How did that flag get there?
Fortaleza fans hung her to mock their classic rival, who is not going through a good economic situation.
The fact is that the Ceará leadership owes the team part of the salaries and
who better than Mr. Barriga to demand payment?

Furthermore, in case the image of the El Chavo character with his hand stretched out demanding payment of the rent was not clear,
they hung another flag underneath also referring to the theme: "I paid what you owe."
The image soon went viral on social networks and even overshadowed the great game they played at the Castelão Stadium, the home of both teams,
where they tied 3-3
.
Imanol Machuca, former Unión de Santa Fe, had scored the partial 3-2 for Fortaleza, which had three other Argentines on the field: Juan Martín Lucero, Tomás Pochettino and Emanuel Brítez, who was sent off before the break.
And, beyond the humor, the last one to smile was Ceará,
who tied the game, from a penalty, in the 53rd minute of the second half
thanks to a success by Saulo Mineiro
.
