Real Madrid vs Barcelona: Drake 'Switches Loyalty' After Vinicius Jr Meeting

• Hip Hop superstar Drake has switched his allegiance from Barcelona to Real Madrid
• The Canadian rapper has been spotted hanging out with Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr
• Drake has been a long-term associate of Los Blancos’ most famous rivals Barcelona

Real Madrid’s rivalry with Barcelona has witnessed a new twist after Drake was spotted hanging out with Brazilian winger, Vinicius Junior, despite his known ties with the Catalan club.

The Canadian rapper is a huge Barcelona supporter and has previously conducted business with the reigning La Liga champions - but all that seems to have been forgotten.

La Blaugrana even wore Drake’s logo on their jersey in the final El Clasico clash of last season, but the rapper appears to have now switched his allegiance to Real Madrid, all thanks to Vini Jr.

Drake was spotted delightfully holding up a Los Blancos jersey after it was gifted to him by the club's new number seven when he attended the rapper’s concert in New York while on holiday.

Vinicius give doctors injury scare

Meanwhile, Vinicius went down injured in the team’s training session in Los Angeles ahead of their first pre-season game against AC Milan, AS Sport reports.

Real Madrid's star Brazilian winger was participating in a training activity when he began to limp and was unable to continue for a short time.

The Spanish giants' medical personnel went over to Vinicius to determine what was wrong; fortunately, he was able to complete the training session.

Drake loses money on Barcelona

Previously, Sports Brief reported on Drake reportedly losing £537,000 on Barcelona after betting the Catalans would defeat Real Madrid in El Clasico.

However, Carlo Ancelotti's side would claim bragging rights in the first Spanish derby of the season as they recorded a 3-1 win over their fiercest rival side.

Goals from Karim Benzema, Federico Valverde, and Rodrygo did the damage. Ferran Torres grabbed a goal back for Barca, but ultimately it meant nothing.
