After his second place in the Ballon d'Or, the return of Vinicius Jr was eagerly awaited. Against Milan, the Brazilian goalscorer stood out a lot and not for the right reasons.
Vinicius Jr has once again been talked about in the Champions League and this time it is not for good reasons. He left everyone with a fantastic hat-trick against Dortmund on the last day, this time despite his goal, he was unable to avoid his team's rout against Milan.
The tone was set from the start of the evening. If a large majority expected the Brazilian to be crowned with the Ballon d'Or, it was ultimately the Manchester City midfielder who received this prestigious distinction. A decision which definitely does not please Real supporters who whistled the Champions League anthem copiously before kick-off to protest against this choice. The main person reacted to it, smiling and nodding his head in understanding. Bernabeu then chanted his name. Surprised from the start by a goal from Thiaw (12'), the Real star sounded the revolt from the penalty spot with a perfectly successful panenka.
A deplorable attitude
Then the tension rose a notch after the second Milan goal (39'), the Meringue chased the score. The runner-up for the Ballon d'Or is far from having had an impeccable attitude, contesting several decisions of the referee and showing several gestures of frustration. For all his work, he was even booked in the 70th minute of play. Dissatisfied, he attacked the referee and the Spanish TV cameras managed to capture what he said on Brazilian to the referee. “You’re crazy, you’re crazy!” »he said, mimicking the gesture of madness by pointing his finger at his head.
The icing on the cake, he offered a sequence which should continue to make the rounds on social networks. At the end of the match, on a harmless ball in the air, the Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan grabbed it without any problem, brushing Vinicius, seeing that the referee had his back turned, the Brazilian threw himself on the ground simulating a blow received, ridiculous… Let us remember, however, that among the criteria for the Ballon d'Or are fair play, exemplary behavior and behavior.
