Jose Bautista and Chad Johnson bet on El Clasico
To get in the spirit of El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona, Chad Johnson and Jose Bautista decided to make a friendly wager over Twitter.
The entire world will be watching on Saturday, November 20, when Real Madrid and Barcelona add another chapter to their rivalry in what has become known as “El Clasico”. El Clasico means “The Classic” in English. Barcelona will enter the match in first place with a 9-0-2 record while Real Madrid will enter the game with a 7-3-1 record. Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista is a huge fan of Barcelona while former Bengals wide receiver Chad “Ocho Cino” Johnson is a huge fan of Real Madrid. To express their respect for each other, the two Twitter superstars decided to make a wager over Twitter.

Jose Bautista is enjoying his offseason after his Toronto Blue Jays returned to the postseason for the first time since 1993. The Blue Jays made it all the way to the American League Championship Series before they were defeated by the eventual World Series Champion Kansas City Royals.
Chad Johnson is enjoying his life post-retirement. Johnson played for the Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins, and New England Patriots during his NFL career. He is known for being extremely confident and he is also quite the dancer. No word yet on what will happen if there’s a tie. Perhaps the two Twitter aficionados will go Dutch?
