Mallorca's 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in LaLiga was overshadowed by yet another fiery clash between Pablo Maffeo and Vinicius Jr.
The two players have a long history of intense on-field confrontations, and Saturday's (04/04) match proved no different. Spanish television program Movistar brought to light the heated exchanges that unfolded between the Spanish defender and the Brazilian forward.
Tensions escalated when Vinicius, after a dazzling dribble, sarcastically laughed at his opponent. In the very next play, Maffeo attempted to strike him. "I'm going to kill you!" the Real Madrid player reportedly said, with Maffeo retorting: "What's your problem? Stop whining. Come on, play football, you're fit for the beach!"
The Brazilian star responded with sarcasm: "Yes, for the beach..." before adding: "Alright, you managed to get on TV again. You do everything for that."
