As against Leipzig in the Champions League, Vinicius scored for Real Madrid on Sunday against Celta, but could also have been sent off for a gesture of humor. 4-0 victory for the La Liga leader.
It’s less controversial than Wednesday evening during the Champions League round of 16 second leg against Leipzig, but Vinicius again avoided a red card four days later, during Real Madrid’s victory against Celta de Vigo (3- 0), Sunday at the Bernabéu. The Brazilian crack pushed Willi Orban after being fouled by the same player, ten minutes before opening the scoring…
This time, “Vini Jr” had already shaken the net, from a corner in the first period (21st). Untenable this Sunday, the Auriverde winger suffered a scandalous shirt pulling over several meters from Oscar Mingueza, who was logically going to be warned. But Vinicius immediately got up to knock down the defender trained at Barça, also receiving a warning (55th). We didn’t come far from disaster…
Two Celta cscs
The La Liga leader then took cover at the end of the match, with two Galician cscs, from goalkeeper Vicente Guaita on a header from Antonio Rüdiger on the crossbar (79th), then from Carlos Dominguez on a cross from Vinicius (80th). It was the young Turkish prodigy Arda Güler, 19, who concluded the offensive festival in added time, for his very first goal with Real (94th).
Carlo Ancelotti’s team regains a lead of seven and eight points over Girona and Barça, 10 days before the end of the championship. The Madrilenians of Aurélien Tchouaméni (relegated to the bench and launched for the last 10 minutes) and Eduardo Camavinga (started and phenomenal) will travel to Pamplona to face Osasuna next weekend
