Barcelona midfielder Gavi reportedly provoked Vinicius Junior during the El Clásico match against Real Madrid.
Hansi Flick and his team emerged victorious with a score of 2–0, securing the La Liga title following their triumph over their rivals at Camp Nou.
The clash between two of the world’s most prominent clubs featured numerous instances of players from both sides attempting to unsettle one another. This match was no exception, with Vinicius and Gavi engaged in a confrontation.
Gavi later stated that he would not take the incident to heart, emphasising that whatever transpires on the field remains there.
Now, new footage of his tense exchange with Vinicius has surfaced.
A video circulating on X via Barca Universal suggests that Barcelona’s Gavi provoked Vinicius by asking about his Ballon d’Or.
The Real Madrid winger was placed behind Rodri in 2024, despite contributing to his team’s La Liga and Champions League victories in the previous season.https://urbanexpresslive.com/ucl-youre-weak-for-covering-your-mouth-with-a-shirt-vinicius-slams-prestianni-over-racist-comment/
Vinicius also declined to attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony after realising he would not receive the award, with Real Madrid backing his decision.
In reference to his disappointment at not securing the prestigious individual accolade, Gavi reportedly asked Vinicius:
“Hey, where’s your Ballon d’Or?”
Vinicius replied, “What do you want, mate? I’m keeping my cool.”
The Barcelona midfielder then urged Vinicius to “shut up and play” and stop playing the fool.
Vinicius has scored 21 goals and provided 14 assists in 51 appearances this season.
Nevertheless, his contributions have come during a challenging campaign for Real Madrid, who have experienced two managerial changes and instances of teammates clashing with one another.
