LUIS FIGO has reignited his feud with Barcelona fans in a hilarious advert.

The Portuguese superstar was at the centre of one of the most bizarre and infamous El Clasico moments of all time in 2002.

After joining Barca‘s bitter rivals Real Madrid, Figo was taking a corner when a butchered PIG’S HEAD was lobbed onto the field from the stands at the Nou Camp.

The game was halted for 14 minutes as stunned referee Medina Cantalejo did his best to calm things down.

But 22 years after the famous incident, Figo has added more fuel to the fire in an advert for Uber Eats.

The clip opens with the Ballon d’Or winner, 51, reading about the unsavoury events as his window is pelted with vegetables.

Figo – who looks to be trying to stifle fits of laughter throughout the brilliant video – then uses the app to find a cooked pig’s head and plates up a tasty dinner for himself.

The cheeky Instagram post‘s caption translates as: “It’s OK to play with food: this time order suckling pig from Uber Eats and leave it on the table (maybe with baked potatoes).”

After the original incident, Real players even claimed they saw golf balls and a knife on the pitch.

Barcelona director Gabriel Masfurro suggested the Madrid press had concocted the whole story and had their cameramen plant the porker.

And Barcelona’s manager at the time – zany former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal – blamed Figo for taking his corners too slowly.

The Dutchman said: “Figo provoked the fans.

“He walked over to the corner really slowly, picked up the bottle slowly, went back to the corner. And all this was done consciously and deliberately, without the referee doing anything to stop it.”

Figo’s response was brutal.

He said: “I don’t know if [former Barca president Joan] Gaspart is taking the p***.

“He [Van Gaal] never said anything when he was my manager for two years. And I’ve saved his a*** more than once.”
