"Lost another knockout match again" - Vinicius Junior brilliantly trolls Diego Simeone on Instagram

The Brazilian star didn't stay on the sidelines and fired back at the Atlético head coach's provocations.

Details: During yesterday's Spanish Super Cup semifinal, where Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid clashed in a thrilling Madrid derby, there was no shortage of spectacular goals and high drama. But tempers also flared, and the fallout is still being felt.

The spark came when 'Los Colchoneros' boss Diego Simeone began provoking Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior, shouting various taunts his way—including a claim that Vinicius would soon be kicked out of Real. Simeone's actions sparked a touchline confrontation between the coaching staffs of both sides, a conflict that spilled over beyond the full-time whistle.

Fabrizio Romano posted an in-depth video of the clash between Simeone and Vinicius on his Instagram page, which Vinicius himself commented on with a pointed jab:

"Lost another knockout match again," Vinicius wrote, taking aim at Simeone.

The match itself ended with Real Madrid edging Atlético 2-1, setting up yet another El Clásico showdown in the Spanish Super Cup final, which is set for this Sunday.
