A bewildered Vinicius JR stared in the nocturnal heaven and wondered how his technique had failed him after a terrible penalty Miss during the Champions League collision of Real Madrid against Atletico.
Last week the local rivals disputed a tight first leg in the Bernabe, arranged by the smart finish of Brahim Diaz after Rodrygo and Julian Alvarez had traded world defenses.
However, the side of Diego Simeone is another proposition for their own supporters and imposed the draw after just 27 seconds playing. But the chances after that were a premium because the draw looked destined for extra time.
That was until Kylian Mbappe won the 15-way winners a penalty after a devastating show of his pace and deception. The Frenchman was expected to take the spot kick after the canvas got up, but it fell instead for Vinicius Jr.
Unfortunately for Los Blancos, the Bad Night of the Brazilian went to his 12 -meter attempt, which he managed to hit a few meters high and just as wide as Jan Oblak's post.
Madrid has enigmatic from the penalty spot this term. Miss van Vinicius JR is the fourth in attempts for the club this period.
The wing player joins teammates Jude Bellingham and Mbappe – who missed a spot staircase in Madrid's collision against Liverpool earlier this season – in the failure of the place.
In reality it has been a frustrating campaign for Vinicius JR after his now notorious Ballon d'Or Snub in previous term. The Brazilian was associated with a large money movement to Saudi Arabia this summer.
Last month, reports in Spain claimed that he had met officials of the Saudi Pro League because they want to make him their latest controversial takeover.
According to Marca, officials from Saudi Aarabia are determined to bring Vinicius to their fast -growing top flight.
Vinicius is said to have met civil servants from the competition, namely Vice President Saad Al Lazeez, in Prague in 2023 while trying to sell him along the way.
The conversations between the two parties have reportedly continued since then, with the Gulf State willing to offer him a five -year -old deal worth £ 830 million to join Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
Allegedly the deal would also see the attacker as an ambassador for the World Cup in 2034 in the country.
Members of his entourage are said to consider the proposal submitted as 'invaluable' thought that the player still has to make a fixed decision about his plans for the future.
