Vinicius Jr. became the subject of controversy as a result of his behavior, which consisted of making fun of Barcelona upon scoring a hat trick.
Ferran Torres, a communication expert for Movistar, was quoted as saying, “If that bastard (Vinicius – Reporter) speaks in front of me, I swear I will slap him in the face.” This was in reference to the reaction of the Barca player to Vinicius.
When Ronald Araujo was shown a red card at the conclusion of the 2024 Spanish Super Cup final, Vinicius made fun of the players from Barcelona who were sitting on the bench by raising his hand to signify that the score was 4-1 in favor of the opponent.
Rodrygo had to shove his Real Madrid teammate away from Barca’s technical area in order to prevent a tense situation from occurring. Meanwhile, rising prospect Fermin Lopez lost his patience and pushed Vinicius.
Even though he was sitting on the bench, Torres expressed his frustration to his teammates by stating that he would “beat Vinicius” if the Real star had the audacity to approach him and agitate him. The referee then intervened to admonish the players of both Barcelona and Real Madrid, which brought an end to the altercation that had been going on between the players of the two teams.
It is not the first time that Vinicius has shown behavior that is intended to antagonize an adversary. Additionally, throughout the earlier stages of this season, the Brazilian striker was often reprimanded by Real players for acting in a manner that was insulting to the opponent.
In addition, Vincius was the target of a number of offensive and even racist behaviors on the part of the players and fans of his squad. Vinicius voiced his dissatisfaction following the victory over Barcelona on January 15, and he confirmed that the players from Barcelona intended to destroy him while he was playing on the pitch.
“I am quite upset because the media has portrayed everything that has occurred to me in a manner that places blame on me, claiming that Vinicius was the one who started it all. In point of fact, during the match, everyone wanted to defeat me,” the star of Real Madrid disclosed.
