What does the “Remontada” meme mean?
People say “remontada” for a turnaround nobody saw coming: a trailing team flipping the score, but also a candidate, student or player recovering from far behind. The word carries both hope and humour, often ironic when the attempt fails. It shows up in match comments, edits and talk about politics or work.
Where does the “Remontada” meme come from?
According to Wikipedia, the term has been widely used in Spain since the 1950s in football vocabulary. It became popular in French in March 2017, after FC Barcelona beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League: Barcelona overturned a four-goal deficit in the return leg, scoring three goals in the final minutes. The word then spread to sport in general and to politics, meaning a return to the forefront after a defeat. In 2021 it entered the Larousse dictionary.
