Amid various speculations over the background of Son Heung-min (34, LAFC)'s "Blabla Ceremony," which came after scoring his first field goal of the season, local claims in Mexico that the ceremony was directed at Mexican Cruz Asul fans who were booing him.

Mexican media Estadio Deportes said on the 9th (Korea time), "Son Heung-min mocked Cruz Asul fans with a provocative ceremony," adding, "Son Heung-min made a gesture to the Cruz Asul fans after scoring a goal."

Earlier on the 8th, Son Heung-min scored the first winning goal to lead his team to a 3-0 victory in the first half of the 2026 North American Caribbean Football Association (CONCACAF) Champions Cup quarterfinals against Cruz Asul (Mexico) at BMO Stadium in LA, California. It was Son's second and first field goal this season.

Immediately after scoring, Son Heung-min, who shared his joy with his teammates, folded his hands toward the broadcast camera to shape his mouth and fold it As he opened it, he also shouted 'Blah blah blah' with his mouth. It was a ceremony with a message to keep talking.

Some interpreted it as an answer to the controversy over the "aging curve" surrounding him, with field goals rarely coming out this season and keeping silent in recent A matches. However, Mexican media believed that Son Heung-min's ceremony was directed at Cruz Asul fans who visited the stadium.

The media said, "Cruce Asul fans booed Son Heung-min strongly throughout the game, and Son Heung-min gestured to the Crew Asul fans as if to 'make a louder noise' after scoring. He performed a provocative ceremony by moving his mouth in an exaggerated manner. Even after sharing his joy with his colleagues, he once again encouraged the audience to shout louder," he said.

Estadio Deportes also added that Son Heung-min's ceremony could be a warning message not only for Cruz Asulpans but also for the upcoming 2026 FIFA 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Mexico match. South Korea was in Group A with hosts Mexico, the Czech Republic and South Africa in this 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup.

The media said, "Son Heung-min's ceremony can be a strong message for the Mexican national team. Son Heung-min is the captain of the South Korean national team, and South Korea is Mexico's second opponent in the group stage in 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup," he said. "Cruce Asul had a painful time with a 0-3 defeat by LAFC, and Son Heung-min was at the center of it. "A war of nerves between Son Heung-min and Cruz Asul fans could be a warning to the Mexican national team," he added.

Son Heung-min scored the first goal in the first leg of the 2026 North American and Caribbean Football Federation (CONCACAF) Champions Cup quarterfinals against Cruz Asul (Mexico) at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California, the U.S., and is encouraging the audience to respond. /Photo = LAFC Official Social Network Service (SNS)
