Vinicius to Opponent: "Idiot, you'll ask me for my shirt later"

As in every match, cameras closely followed Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior for the full 90 minutes, capturing his interactions with opponents. The recent clash against Espanyol (2-0) was no exception, where the Brazilian scored two goals to help Arbeloa's side prevent Barcelona's championship celebrations.

Movistar Plus+ cameras caught a verbal exchange between Vinicius and Omar El Hilali. The Moroccan was tasked with marking the Brazilian star, who at one point in the game told him: “Later you’ll ask me for my shirt, but I won’t give it to you. Stop with the nonsense, you’re an idiot. Do you want to fight? If you want to play, let’s play. You’ll end up in the Second Division.”

In another incident, before a corner kick or free-kick, Vinicius reprimanded the Espanyol player for holding him while play was stopped: “Wait, the ball isn’t in play, and you’re already holding me.” The Moroccan replied: “And what do you want me to do?” to which Vinicius retorted: “But why do you have to push? You’re constantly pushing. I’m calm, brother. No, he’s just stupid. He wants to act tough to get on TV.”

Earlier, in the 24th minute, El Hilali was shown a red card for a foul on Vini, but after VAR intervention, the referee downgraded the decision to a yellow card.
