You can’t keep Vinicius Junior out of the news.

An own goal by Eder Militao gave Barcelona the win and the advantage in the tie, BBC reported.

While the result was important, the big talking point was Vini and de Jong’s tussle which resulted in the Brazilian getting a yellow.

Some fans felt he deserved a red card for it, while others thought he was auditioning for the UFC, and the rest believed that de Jong was the culprit.

Here's how social media reacted:

@mattakhide:

"They both get into it, but somehow Vini is the one who gets booked."

@JebsCuler:

"Bro is literally choking De Jong and complaining about the yellow "

@Weymarzinho:

"I like Vini and even I was annoyed by this. Then he tried to cry over the yellow...literally wrestling."

@JebsCuler:

"Bro is really complaining about getting a yellow for choke slamming De Jong "

@FARlAS_7:

"They all talk about Vini, but how Araujo push down Vini and not get carded is crazy, or how Gavi commited in the first half 3 fouls and received no card."

@M0USAAB:

"If he was a Barca player the ref would've gave him a red card, but he's a Madrid player so it fine....."

Araujo praised for pocketing Vinicius

Barcelona fans reckon Ronald Araujo once again 'pocketed' Vinicius Junior as the Real Madrid star fired blank against the Catalan giants.

The Uruguayan defender was one of the best performers as La Blaugrana pipped their arch-rivals Real Madrid 1-0.

Social media couldn't get enough of the Blaugrana star as they praised him for his performance, Sports Brief reported.
