Vinicius and Atletico Madrid forward Morata were observed engaging in a heated exchange on the sidelines at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. The Brazilian winger had to be restrained by his teammates as he continued to argue with Morata.

However, the altercation with Morata was not the sole contentious moment for Vinicius during the 3-3 draw. He was also spotted shoving Spain defender Aymeric Laporte, which prompted the Spaniard to jest about the incident on social media, quipping, “Maybe he wanted to dance”

Vinicius is set to resume his club duties at the Santiago Bernabeu this weekend when Real Madrid face Athletic Club in La Liga. The Spanish giants currently hold an eight-point lead over Barcelona at the summit of the Spanish top division.
