Previously, Nicolás Otamendi and Vinicius clashed during the first leg of the Champions League play-off in Lisbon. After a heated verbal exchange, Otamendi lifted his shirt to point at his World Cup winner’s badge—a trophy Vinicius has yet to win.

Fans on social media have already flooded Gabriel Otamendi with demands to apologize to Vinicius, but in response, the star defender's brother simply made his account private and deleted the controversial image from his stories.
