Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior may be currently suspended, but that doesn't mean he's stopped having fun at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Brazilian carried a camera during Los Blanco's 4-1 win over Las Palmas and has gone viral in Spain.
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone had called out what he believed was clearly a referee bias in Real Madrid's favor on Friday, which subsequently provoked a response from both Dani Ceballos and Carlo Ancelotti. Since then, Simeone has come out firing again.
However, it also enticed the Madridista fanbase at the Santiago Bernabeu into action on Sunday, as they made their rivals the object of their chants. One song in particular focused on Real Madrid's two Champions League wins in three years against Los Colchoneros, the first after extra time and the second on penalties.
During the match in Las Palmas, Vinicius was seen singing along to the song, which will no doubt endear him to the home fans and annoy Atletico fans in equal measure, as reported by Cadena SER.
Vinicius will serve the second of his two-match ban against Real Valladolid at the Nuevo Jose Zorrilla next weekend, following his red card against Valencia for pushing Stole Dimitrievski in the face. He will be back in action for their European clash with RB Salzburg and will be keen to get back into form.
Although he was the main player in the opening months of the season, his star has been overshadowed by Kylian Mbappé in recent months, with the Brazilian often playing more centrally. Los Blancos take on Valladolid, Getafe and then host Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in what will be a top-flight match. Vinicius will want to be at full speed by then as Real Madrid prepare for their usual assault on La Liga and the Champions League.
