Joao Cancelo, a football player for Barcelona, caused quite a stir on social media following his most recent post-game interview, though perhaps not for the best reasons.

The defender earned player of the match honors for his Catalan team on Sunday after scoring a thrilling late victory against Celta Vigo.

Cancelo, 29, was modest about his performance following the game, saying that he committed “many technical errors that are not typical of my game.”

He told reporters, “I had to change and turn things around.

“I gave everything I had until the very last, and we were able to come back, which is what mattered most.“The club will love me if I perform. They will expel me if I don’t.However, many people were more preoccupied with his facial expressions throughout the conversation than with his outstanding performance.Someone said: “I’m convinced he’s a vampire-fighting the urge to eat that journalist.”One more person commented, “At first I thought this was a Snapchat filter.”After pulling the face, Cancelo rapidly went back to normal, but there was something a little bit murderous about it.Someone else said, simply, “I’ve seen him in my nightmares.”The 29-year-old was loaned out by Manchester City to Barcelona for the entire season.He appears to have won a place in Catalan hearts after the winner, despite the odd interview.Barcelona lost the game, but Robert Lewandowski, their striker, scored one back.The Portuguese player finished a second opportunity with just one minute remaining in the regular period, energizing the home crowd.We didn’t play well, but we still came up with the epic, displaying a winning character, according to manager Xavi.“I believe this generation will fight until the very end. We didn’t play well today, but what transpired was a huge turning point for the winning character. It’s about character, faith, and the epic.
