Vinicius was forced to leave the pitch before the final whistle due to an ankle injury. As he made his way to the bench following his substitution, a Barcelona supporter began mocking him from the stands. The fan held up a beach ball, taunting the Brazilian and hinting at his failure in the race for the Ballon d'Or.

Unsurprisingly, this provocation infuriated Vinicius, who pointed at the fan and shouted back in response. The Brazilian's reaction caused a massive stir among fans, who closely followed the exchange — footage of the incident on X has already racked up over 400,000 views.

It's worth noting that Real Madrid lost to Barcelona in El Clásico, all but ending their hopes of winning La Liga. With just three rounds to go, the gap between Madrid and the Catalans now stands at seven points. Barcelona could clinch the title as early as the next matchday if they beat Espanyol away.
