A new entanglement in world football?
Betis captain Joaquin is set to be punished and face a hefty fine, following a controversial incident in which he was a partner last Saturday.
The player, who a week and a half ago celebrated an exciting win with his team in the King's Cup, who was present in the stands of a bullfighting arena, jumped into the arena, which is known to be forbidden in the traditional and controversial event held in Spain.
In fact, according to reports, from the first moment, the bullfighter and Joaquin's friend, Antonio Ferrara, insisted that the first one jump into the arena.
Captain Betis repeatedly refused the offer, knowing that such a move was reserved only for those participating in the celebration, and this is reflected in the bullfighting regulations.
Eventually and after a campaign of persuasion, the Spaniard jumped into the arena, after Ferrara pushed him and told him: "Jump, I will pay you the fine. You are also a bullfighter, participate."
The years embraced in front of the crowd, who at that moment applauded, and immediately afterwards the footballer returned to the stands to the applause of those present.
Antonio Ferrera and the football player Joaquín will be prophesied for sanction by jailbreak and dismissed by the authority https://t.co/iGmipIw1rc

Now it turns out that the move could cost him dearly.
The 1991 law on administrative powers regarding bullfights stipulates that for minor offenses fines of 5,000 to 25,000 pesos (30 to 150 euros) will be imposed, and for the most serious ones, the fine can range from 25,000 to 10 million pesos (150 to 60,000 euros).
Apart from the punishment, the network also quickly responded to the incident in which Joaquin was involved.
An angry surfer wrote: "Giving a hand to bullfights, too bad."

Thank you Joaquín, for defying the tauromaquia without complying much more than our sad fronts.
Now you can propose for the sanction🙈
