Toni Kroos trolls Vinícius after his first game as Real Madrid captain
Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos took to the comments section of Vinícius Júnior’s Instagram post, where the Brazilian shared a photo of himself wearing the captain’s armband, and left a witty remark.
The German midfielder wrote in Spanish, "Now you can talk to the referees," playfully referencing Vinícius’ frequent arguments with match officials. Kroos’ comment sparked a wave of reactions from fans, amassing 74,000 likes and thousands of replies, with many praising his sharp sense of humor.
Vinícius captained Real Madrid for the first time in the Copa del Rey semifinal first leg against Real Sociedad. Los Blancos secured a 1-0 victory thanks to a goal from Endrick. The return leg is set to take place on April 1 in Madrid.
This season, Vinícius has played 34 matches for Real Madrid, scoring 17 goals and providing 10 assists. The team remains in contention for all major trophies, sitting joint-top of La Liga with Barcelona, advancing to the Champions League Round of 16, and competing in the Copa del Rey semifinals.
