The official account of Real Betis club published a picture of its historic player Joaquin after beating Valencia in the King’s Cup final.
The controversial photo showed Joaquin fully nude, but the club put a cartoon picture of his genitals so they could publish it.
The image was an exact copy of a previous image in which the same player appeared in 2008 to celebrate the coronation of the King of Spain, but this time he was wearing the Valencia shirt.

The tournament is the third in the 40-year-old’s history, after the King’s Cup title in 2005 with Real Betis and the 2008 title with Valencia.
Real Betis had won the King’s Cup for the third time in its history on Saturday evening at the expense of Valencia, after the match ended in a positive tie with one goal for each team and was decided by penalty shootouts.
Borja Iglesias advanced to Real Betis in the 11th minute of the confrontation, before Hugo Doro equalized for Valencia in the 30th minute, and Betis won five kicks to four.
It is worth noting that Joaquin had confirmed in press statements that he would retire from football at the end of the current season, after he reached the age of 40.
