It has been claimed about the way an Arab commentator reacted after seeing a fan with an Albanian national flag at the Bayern Munich - Real Madrid Champions League match in midweek.
The video was posted by the "Vetëmsport24" account on TikTok on Wednesday. "The Arab commentator is amazed," wrote "vetëmsport24".
But what is the truth of the video?
After fact-checking by hibrid.info, it turns out that the audio used in this video was found in some old video material that has nothing to do with the Bayern - Real Madrid match.
The link published by "vetëmsport24" on TikTok on Wednesday (May 1):
The audio in question became famous in 2021, after a video went viral under the report that an Arab commentator sings to a fan who appeared on the broadcast of a match. (see example)
In the "vetëmsport24" video, a few seconds of the famous audio are used before the singing begins.
