Once again the author of a provocative gesture, this time leaving the Rayo Vallecano pitch, Vinícius Júnior once again attracted lightning. His attitude on Spanish pitches is annoying.
Against Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid failed to win and had to settle for a draw (3-3). After the hour mark and the first substitutions of Carlo Ancelotti, the match could have turned in favor of the Merengue if the referee had awarded them a penalty for an uncalled foul in the area ten minutes from the end of the match . Sure of his move, the man with the whistle did not even use the video assistance. A decision which greatly annoyed the Real Madrid players, including a certain Vinícius Júnior, author of an inappropriate gesture, who definitely found it difficult to contain his anger.
Vinícius Júnior encores the controversy
Victim of an uncalled foul in the area which could have disrupted the match, Vinícius Júnior had difficulty digesting the final result. As he left the pitch, the Brazilian was filmed miming a “2” with his fingers towards the Rayo Vallecano supporters. A way for him to remind them that they are not yet completely safe from relegation to the Segunda División. For Guti, former glory of the Madrid club, Vinicius’ reaction is explainable. “ It’s a normal reaction. I understand Vinicius perfectly. It can happen. 3-3 ago, he came on and it didn’t go well for him. Then he had an altercation with the referee, the penalty he didn’t get. And then, if you have to put up with an inappropriate comment from someone, you end up breaking down. », Explained the ex-Madrid midfielder.
If this famous gesture was logically controversial, his attitude on the ground also caused talk. Vinícius Júnior received a yellow card in the 74th minute for unsportsmanlike conduct. Real Madrid are still biting their fingers since their number 7 is therefore suspended for the last meeting of the year against Sevilla.
