Against RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday, Vinicius Jr came under fire after charging at defender Willi Orban, before grabbing him by the neck and sending him to the ground. But the Madrid number 7 simply received a yellow card from Mr. Massa, which caused a scandal since, according to some, the Brazilian should have been expelled.
Against Celta de Vigo, at the Santiago Bernabéu, to follow live with commentary on our site, the 23-year-old winger opened the scoring in the first half, before breaking down again after the break. During a counter-attack, Vini Jr, launched in depth, was heavily held by the jersey by Oscar Mingueza. Annoyed by this gesture, the Brazilian then got up and sent the Celta defender to the ground again. The two players then explained themselves and were warned of a yellow card (55th).
