Vinicius JR played a key role in the Play -off victory of Madrid in the city after he was stimulated by the pregame provocation of the home fans.
Manchester City has a mountain to climb if they want to reach the 2024/25 Champions League round of 16 after a 3-2 home defeat suffered by Real Madrid. And the general position is that there are several ways in which the Premier League side was the architects of their own downfall.
City Gift Real Madrid Two late goals
On the field, the Pep Guardiola team shot himself twice in the second half. The two goals of Erling Haaland had their 2-1 forward with a few minutes left to play and apparently in control. A loose kick by goalkeeper Niererson, however, eventually led to Brahim Díaz who had an equalizer before Vinicius JR robbed a carefree Rico Lewis and saved Jude Bellingham to score an injury-time winner.
At the start of the game, City was forced to withstand an early storm from Madrid, who, according to many, were extra motivated because of a banner who was stopped by home fans for the kick -off.
The provocative Vinicius banner of Manchester City fans
“Stop crying your heart,” it read, together with a photo of midfielder Rodri who kissed the balloon.
The title of the 2002 support of the city-supporting band Oasis was a thin-wenned reference to Vinicius Jr's overwhelming conviction that he deserved to collect the prize, as well as Real Madrid Boycotting of the prize-giving in protest against the Brazilian who was accelerated .
Did the banner have an adverse effect? Can five words on a large piece of fabric really influence a Champions League game between two of the best teams in the world?
“I saw the banner of Man City fans … and it motivated me even more,” Vinicius confirmed full -time. It was undoubtedly the Brazilian who had the last smile with involvement in the last two goals of Madrid, who earned him the MVP prize of the match.
