The rivalry between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona experienced a new episode this weekend, when Carlos Olmo, brother of Barcelona midfielder Dani Olmo, openly criticized Vinícius Jr. on social networks.
Carlos Olmo tackles Vinícius on Instagram
On Instagram, the modest CP San Cristobal player shared a video compiling the behavior deemed unsporting by the Brazilian. In the caption, he added a dig in reference to Rodri, recent winner of the Ballon d’Or: “Rodri really saved football. »
A statement which aims to call into question the attitude on the pitch of the Madrid star, recently crowned FIFA The Best 2024 player. If “Vini” shines with his performances on the pitch, notably with 14 goals this season in La Liga, he remains a divisive figure because of his character and his behavior which is sometimes criticized, particularly by his adversaries.
A rekindled Real-Barça rivalry
This clash between Dani Olmo’s brother and the Real Madrid star once again illustrates the intensity of the rivalry between the two Spanish giants. Carlos Olmo’s exit has already fueled debate on Spanish sets and on social networks. It comes in a context where tensions between Barça and Real remain high, both on and off the pitch.
