Real Madrid's Vinicius Jr. has recently proven his love to be at the thick of things. The young Brazilian has consistently stolen the spotlight on numerous occasions, either on the field or off the pitch of play.

In the Spanish club's match round eight La Liga tie away at Girona, Vinicius Jr., who was only making his first start since his one-month injury, again stole the spotlight after teammate Nacho Fernandez's horrific tackle on forward Cristian Portu.

As reported by Diario AS, Nacho received his marching orders after committing to a needless sliding tackle that was enough to land the 31-year-old Portu at the hospital in Montilivi.
