Sunday evening, Rayo Vallecano resisted. Against Real Madrid, Francisco Rodriguez’s men held the draw until the end (0-0). Yet dominant, the Merengues were not saved this time by Jude Bellingham. But it was above all Vinicius Jr who made people talk about him at the end of the meeting. The Brazilian once again took the lead, with Rayo goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski.
Indeed, while the visitors held the score, the 29-year-old goalkeeper was gaining time, which did not please the Real Madrid star who demanded a corner. “You and me, outside!” You and me outside!”, repeats Vinicius Jr to the Macedonian. The Brazilian, winner of the Socrates prize last week in Paris, got carried away, where the Rayo Vallecano player preferred to play down the scene to El Chiringuito : “If I had seen him outside, I would have given him a hug. The Vinicius thing on the pitch is normal.” In the end, more fear than harm for the two men even if the score does not really suit the Madrilenians, second in La Liga behind Girona.
