Vinicius Junior took to social media in the wake of Real Madrid’s ‘El Clasico’ triumph, pointing to the badge commemorating the Spanish giants’ 15 European crowns.
Madrid’s No 7 was a high-profile absentee from Jose Mourinho’s squad for the trip to Barcelona. True to form, he wasted no time making his presence felt on Instagram as soon as the final whistle sounded on the marquee clash.
Beyond reposting Real Madrid’s post-match celebrations adorned with laughing-crying emojis, the Brazilian made a pointed gesture towards the 15 European Cups proudly claimed by the Chamartin club.
Social media banter aside, Vinicius Jr is facing an uphill battle to protect his status in the ‘Merengue’ pecking order. Amid an underwhelming campaign, Yan Diomande is, quite literally, overtaking him on the left flank.
