Following Ronald Araujo’s second bookable offence, resulting in his late second-half dismissal, Vinicius, the Brazilian winger, was seen provocatively informing the Barca bench that the score was 4-1. Post-game, Vinicius addressed the media and, when questioned about the incident, acknowledged not being a saint but emphasized his commitment to learning and improving.
Speaking to reporters, Vinicius stated [via @Arancha Rodriguez on X], “Everyone wants to fight me. I try my best to stay focused. I am not a saint. Sometimes I talk too much, sometimes I do dribbles that I don’t have to do and I want to learn. I’m here for that, to learn.”
Vinicius boasts an impressive track record against Barcelona, having clashed with them 16 times and secured victory in nine instances. He has contributed six goals and two assists in matches against Barca. Real Madrid’s triumph not only added to their current success but also widened the historical trophy gap, with Los Blancos now holding 101 titles compared to Barcelona’s 99.
Looking ahead, Vinicius Jr is set to participate in the Copa del Rey round of 16 against Atletico Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano on Thursday, January 18, under the guidance of coach Carlo Ancelotti.
