Vinicius embarrasses Savic

With the game level at 1-1, Vinicius turned the Montenegrin footballer inside out, before nutmegging him and attempting to get a shot on goal.

The 32-year-old couldn't cope with the Brazilian and was left red-faced after the encounter.

Sadly for Atletico, Savic's evening went from bad to worse, after the defender conceded two quick yellow cards and was sent off.

With Diego Simeone's side down to 10 men, Real capitalised and scored two late goals to steal the victory, Marca reported.

Vini Jr's jibe at Atletico

Real Madrid winger, Vinicius Junior aimed a dig at Atletico Madrid, following his side's triumph in the Copa del Rey on Thursday evening.

The Brazilian was among the scorers as Los Blancos clawed from a goal down to secure the bragging rights and also achieve a spot in the Spanish cup semi-finals.

Vinicius gave a befitting response of his own to the uncouth behaviour of Atleti fans, scoring a last-minute goal in the Madrid derby, as reported by Sports Brief.
