Ivan Helguera, a Real Madrid player from 1999 to 2007, published a much-commented emoji message after the decision of Real Madrid to appoint Alvaro Arbeloa as first team coach instead of Xabi Alonso.

The former footballer, who coincided with Arbeloa at Madrid in the 2004-2005 season, wrote "Arbeloa" accompanied by four well-known emojis: two of the smiling face emoji with tears and two of the emoji of a person covering their face with one hand.

The meaning of the emojis published by Helguera commenting on Arbeloa's appointment

The smiling face emoji with tears means, according to AI Overview, very strong or uncontrollable laughter, as if you are laughing so much that you cry, being the most popular for years to indicate that something is very funny.

The facepalm emoji generally means shame, frustration or amazement at something embarrassing or shocking, expressing a desire to hide but at the same time not being able to help looking, like a "I can't believe it!" or "How embarrassing!". It can also indicate shyness.
