“I am the best player in the world”, the strong message from Vinicius!

The video was a compilation of Vinicius Junior’s best moments of 2024, and was published on Twitter/X and YouTube. However, it was the cover of the video, which showed Vinicius celebrating a goal with various FC Barcelona players scattered on the ground around him.

However, many FC Barcelona fans pointed out that the sticker was actually an altered image.

The Real Madrid star had been edited into an image originally composed of Atlético Madrid’s 96th-minute winning goal against Barcelona, ​​replacing Alexander Sorloth.

This became evident after it was pointed out that the FC Barcelona players were in the exact same position as in Sorloth’s photo – Vinicius is yet to score against the Blaugrana this season. According to RAC1, the video was deleted shortly after it began to attract a reaction from Culers.
