Vinicius Confronts Fourth Referee in Disappointing Classic Performance

Vinicius confronts the fourth referee in the Classic (DAZN)

Samba is not particularly fashionable at Real Madrid so far this season, because the team’s quintessential Brazilian couple is going through a more than noticeable slump. Neither Rodrygo nor Vinicius are managing to be decisive at this point in the season, and this Saturday’s Classic was new evidence of this. Above all, in the case of the second, whose performance was one of the most disappointing that occurred in the Madrid ranks.

Every time Vinicius had an action with the possibility of overflow in the Barça area, the play ended in nothing. The São Gonçalo footballer was the ideal personification of Madrid’s offensive poverty until well into the match, without feeling comfortable at any time. The prominence that he lacked at a sporting level was more than enough in the extra-sports area, since he led two of the most controversial moments left by the crash.

First, Vinicius confronted Xavi in ​​the 28th minute, after a run by Joao Félix contained by Carvajal did not end in a foul by the Madrid player. It all came because the Barça coach reproached Madrid’s number 7 for throwing himself in front of Gavi in ​​a previous action. The footballer, for his part, protested to the culé coach about the fact that the Sevillian’s tackle went unsanctioned by the referee.

Already in the second half, came Vinicius’ most explosive scene in the match. It happened when he was replaced, and he took advantage of it to take advantage of it with the stands while he headed towards the bench. Then, he also had it out with one of the referee assistants, as was revealed later.

At a moment when Vinicius was really hot, he exploded and charged at the assistant who was closest to his position. “Don’t touch me, don’t touch me,” he said. “Don’t let him touch me!” He then made it clear. “Don’t touch me, you’re crazy,” he reprimanded the fourth referee. “I said don’t touch me,” he also snapped, just when Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti took him by the hand to take him away.

The celebratory gestures with which he left the field of play did not go unnoticed, with a noticeable whistle from the local Montjuïc fans. At that point in the duel, Madrid had already completed its comeback thanks to a once again stellar Jude Bellingham. The Englishman’s two goals served to turn the tables and Gündogan’s initial goal, shortly after the action started, was forgotten. The 1-2 away score for the whites helped them become leaders of LaLiga, with 28 points (nine wins, one draw and one loss).

By falling to the eternal rival, Barça has moved to fourth place in the league, with 24 points to its name (seven wins, three draws and one loss). Despite being superior for a good part of the Classic, the Barça team went from better to less and saw how the opposite happened to Madrid to end up taking the victory.
