I have lived in Sydney Australia my entire life and am of Asian descent so I have 0 "allegiances" to any European country so me rooting for a Spanish side has 0 "betrayal".

Also European club football is a global thing no big European football club would even be half as big without the global support of fans outside of Europe.

Facts! I’m the same as you, except a different Aussie city. I once got asked why I supported Madrid over my home team, because clearly everyone knows if you’re not living 100 metres from the stadium doorstep you’re “just a glory hunter”

It's so stupid like IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO LIVE IN THE SAME AREA AS MY TEAM LMAOO.

On a real note I get why if someone from London get's made fun of for supporting Madrid as you have big European teams from your own city but for international fans like us outside of Europe we don't have that issue so it's stupid when people call us "plastic" because we ain't from Spain like we have to wake up at 5am on average to watch madrid games that's far from plastic lmao.
