Go to hell Espanyol, Catalans and all of Cornella

Congo forward Thievy Bifouma was unveiled as a new Almeria player on Friday, having joined the club on a loan deal from Espanyol. However, his chances of going back to Catalonia look slim, if not non-existent, as his time at the club has been littered with disciplinary problems.

Thievy's girlfriend, Thalia Marquez, has further driven a wedge between the 22-year-old, Espanyol and the club's fans with a foul-mouthed outburst on Instagram. "Go to hell Espanyol, Catalans and all of Cornella", blasted the Malaga-born entrepreneur, who is the mother of the striker's second child and is the reason why Thievy was seeking a move to the south of Spain.

The player himself was more guarded when asked during his Almería unveiling about his situation at Espanyol, which he branded "awkward". Ironically, fate has pitted Almeria against Espanyol in their opening league game of the season and Thievy - for whom the Andalusians have paid a €200,000 loan fee - is hoping to be fit to take on his parent club.
