Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior continues to find himself in hot water, engaging in showdowns with fans. This time, the Brazilian decided to taunt the supporters of Atletico Madrid. Vinicius's gesture was caught on video, which Fabrizio Romano shared on his X page.
Vinicius was substituted in the overtime of the Champions League Round of 16 match in the 115th minute. As he left the field, he was subjected to numerous insults from the stands and chose not to stay silent. The Brazilian raised his hands and showed the numbers 1 and 5 with his fingers, and then showed a zero with his fingers as well.
It seems that Vinicius intended to remind the opposing fans that Real Madrid has already secured 15 Champions League victories, whereas Atletico still has none.
After the match, the Brazilian continued his battle with the fans by posting on Instagram with the caption "THERE IS ONLY ONE MADRID! How good it is to be a player for the best club in the world!"
In the photo, Vinicius also points to the sleeve of his jersey, where an emblem displays the number of Champions League trophies the club has won. It can be assumed that this is yet another nod to the ongoing rivalry.
