Real Madrid got themselves a brilliant win away at Camp Nou, winning 4-0 against Barcelona to book their place in the final of the Copa del Rey. Not even the most optimistic of fans could have seen this result coming. Carlo Ancelotti’s side came into this match with a 1-0 deficit from the first leg and had lost three straight El Clasicos before this.
Like so many times in the past, the Real Madrid players stepped up to the plate when they were needed the most. Karim Benzema showed why he is the current Ballon d’Or holder, by scoring a hattrick to silence the Camp Nou. Vinicius Junior got himself on the scoresheet as well.
While Benzema might have grabbed the headlines with his hattrick, Vinicius was brilliant as well. The Brazilian scored and assisted once each, while also winning a penalty kick. But the Brazilian was in the news for his behaviour instead.
As reported by SPORT, the Barcelona dressing room is really angry with the behaviour of Vinicius. The opposition players did not understand the attitude of the Brazilian.
Barcelona players angry with Real Madrid star’s behaviour
Vinicius was involved in moments with the likes of Ronald Araujo, Gavi and Ferran Torres. And it must be said that opposition players often complain about the behaviour of the Brazilian winger.
Perhaps it is a side of his game that he needs to work on. But then, Vinicius is still just 22 years of age. Hopefully it will come with experience and maturity.
What fans will remember though is his performance on the night. Vinicius was absolutely superb. In his previous contests with Araujo, the Brazilian had struggled to make his presence felt. But on this occasion, he finally got the better of the Uruguayan defender. Do not forget what a brilliant player he is amidst all the criticism.
