Brazilian football star Vinicius Junior was at the centre of all the proceedings during Real Madrid's fixture against Valencia. The star winger was spotted fighting Valencia fans after the conclusion of the match.
The Galacticos star didn't have the best of the games. Although he did manage to score a goal, Real Madrid still lost the last-minute thriller 1-2.
Vinicius Junior fights Valencia fans
Tensions flared when Kylian Mbappe was fouled inside the box in the 11th minute. Vinicius Junior went up to take the kick from the spot. However, he failed to convert as Valencia's goalkeeper made a brilliant save.
Vinicius Junior opened the scoreline for Los Blancos after they gave away the lead in the 15th minute. Vini scored a goal for the hosts in the 50th minute. In a dramatic turn of events in the fifth minute of stoppage time, Hugo Duro scored the winning goal for Valencia, marking their first victory against Los Merengues since 2023.
After the final whistle, Vinicius Junior appeared visibly frustrated with the result as he violently kicked a ball, which went straight to his own team's dugout. Then, as he headed towards the tunnel, Vini turned back to confront a few Valencia fans.
"Penalties? It's been a difficult season; Bellingham missed, Mbappé missed, Vinicius missed... I wanted to give him some confidence," Carlo said.
Los Blancos's gaffer became agitated when asked about Vini's future at Madrid.
“Am I sick of hearing about this? Yes. Am I concerned? No. Does he seem happy? Yes. And we're happy with him. I have nothing to add to what I told you a few weeks back. It's not a matter to be discussed here. We don't talk about that here, and he doesn't either. I think Vinicius looks the same as ever, eager to prove he's doing the right things. He performed brilliantly in the last game and he will continue to do so because he's just starting to regain that match fitness," Carlo added.
