Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior got used to the Pantomime-Schurcrol when he travel away from home, but he laughed the last smile at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday evening, while his game drove to a 6-3 total victory over Manchester City. Vinicius had been the subject of a large banner before the Etihad game.
Referring to the popular OASIS song, became a gigantic photo of Rodri Hernandez who kissed the Ballon d'Or next to the slogan 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' in the Etihad before the kick-off last week. It was referred to the widespread criticism that Real Madrid was confronted after boycotting the Ballon d'Or Awards Gala when discovering that Vinicius would not win the prize.
Although the fans who organized the banner said that the Tifo was more focused on the Real Madrid President Florentino Perez, who made the decision not to attend the event, Vinicius certainly took it personally. After the first stage, the Brazilian admitted that he used the banner as extra motivation and would eventually grab two assists in the first stage, a 3-2 victory that put Los Blancos on track to put the city out.
After the second stage, Vinicius tweeted 'okay !!!!!!!' Accompanied by a crying face that many as a reference to the Tifo of the first stage names. Vinicius will pursue a third Champions League in four years, who scored last year in two separate final against Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.
Fans of Manchester City in Madrid also appeared with a smaller banner in the Bernabeu of the same motif, but it was not seen by many, with a part of the traveling support that the game left in the 64th minute after the Hattrick goal of Kylian Mbappe . Real Madrid will be confronted with one of Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16.
