  • Real Madrid continued their winning ways on Sunday afternoon against Real Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu
  • Vinicius Junior scored in the 4-1 victory but the Brazilian was on the receiving end of several fouls
  • The winger was captured confronting Mallorca manager Javier Aguirre on the touchline during the game

Spanish giants Real Madrid staged a remarkable comeback from a one-goal deficit to thrash Real Mallorca 4-1 on Sunday, September 9.

Goals from Federico Valverde, Vinicius Junior, Rodrigo and Antonio Rudiger were enough to hand Los Blancos the maximum points.

Despite scoring his fourth La Liga goal of the current campaign over the weekend, not everyone in Real Madrid's dugout is happy with Vini Junior.

Throughout the match, the Brazil international was on the receiving end of several fouls, with Marca reporting that Mallorca manager Javier Aguirre ordered his players to hurt the winger.

As frustrations got better of the 22-year-old, Vinicius was spotted in a video confronting the veteran tactician on the touchline during the game.

However, Spanish outlet Cadena SER, quoted by FootballEspana, has revealed that Vinicius was rather doing his best to provoke the Mallorca players all game.

The report further states that Vini Jr. was asking the opposing players:

“What? You think you are going to win?”

Per Diario AS, the Real Madrid dressing room is not pleased with Vinicius' antics and have repeatedly told the Brazilian to improve his provocative behaviour on the pitch.

But Vinicius, who has scored 5 goals and provided one assist in six games so far, has done nothing to change his conduct during games.

Vinicius will be hoping to follow his superb form at the Santiago Bernabeu when Real Madrid host RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, September 14.

Real Madrid Stars Can’t Get Enough Amapiano, Enjoy Listening to Adiwele by Young Stunna and Kabza De Small

Vinicius and Real Madrid teammates were recently spotted listening to some proudly South African Amapiano tunes, Sports Brief earlier reported.

A video, shared by a Los Blancos fan account, shows the players jamming to Young Stunna and Kabza De Small’s track Adiwele.

The footage shows striker Karim Benzema getting a haircut while the song belts out in the background, with the Madrid players enjoying the music.
