Vinicius Mocks Barcelona Despite Missing Real Madrid’s El Clasico Victory
Vinicius Junior has found his own way to celebrate Real Madrid’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Barcelona, despite being unable to play in El Clasico.
The Brazilian winger missed Sunday’s match at Camp Nou because of a four-game suspension.
However, he quickly attracted attention after the final whistle with a series of social media posts.
His actions were widely seen as a clear message to Barcelona following their painful defeat against Real Madrid.
Vinicius posts laughing emojis after Barcelona defeat
Real Madrid secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Barcelona on October 25, thanks to two goals from Kylian Mbappe.
The French superstar scored the winning goal in the 87th minute, ending Barcelona’s perfect start to the La Liga season.
Shortly after the match, Vinicius shared Real Madrid’s victory post on his Instagram story.
The image showed Mbappe celebrating, accompanied by four laughing emojis.
According to Cadena SER and Mundo Deportivo, the message was interpreted as a playful attempt to mock Barcelona after their defeat.
The reaction quickly attracted attention because of the intense rivalry between the two Spanish giants.
Vinicius reminds Barcelona of Real Madrid’s 15 Champions League titles
But the Brazilian did not stop with the laughing emojis.
Vinicius also responded to another Real Madrid Instagram post with a photograph of himself pointing towards the Champions League badge on his shirt.
The badge showed Real Madrid’s incredible record of 15 European Cup and Champions League titles.
The image was widely seen as another message to Barcelona, reminding their rivals of Madrid’s success in European football.
Although Vinicius did not directly mention Barcelona, the timing of his posts made them a major talking point.
Why did Vinicius miss El Clasico?
Vinicius was unavailable for the match because of a four-game suspension following his red card against Villarreal on October 10.
The Brazilian was punished after pulling Nathan Saliba’s hair during that game.
As a result, he was forced to watch Real Madrid’s important victory from outside the stadium.
Despite his absence, Madrid secured three valuable points and reduced the gap to La Liga leaders Barcelona to just three points.
Vinicius still makes headlines without playing
While Mbappe was the hero on the pitch, Vinicius became one of the biggest talking points away from it.
His laughing emojis and Champions League message brought even more attention to Real Madrid’s victory.
However, there has been no confirmed official response from Barcelona to his posts.
Even without playing a single minute, Vinicius managed to put himself in the spotlight and add another chapter to the famous rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
