Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior (23) proudly scored a goal against the Atletico Madrid fans who attacked him.
Real Madrid defeated Atletico 3-1 in the quarterfinals of the 2022/2023 Spanish Copa del Rey (King’s Cup) held at the home stadium Santiago Bernabeu on the 27th (Korean time). Real Madrid, who finished 1-1 after 90 minutes of the first half, scored two goals in extra time to finish the bloody battle with victory.
Vinicius scored a key goal. Rodrygo’s equalizer in the second half and Karim Benzema’s come-from-behind goal in extra time turned the game around. Just before the end, Vinicius broke through the opponent’s half alone and scored the third goal with a right-footed shot.
Vinicius roared after scoring. It was a cry for Atletico fans. Vinicius took his toll as the turbulent atmosphere of the Madrid derby bounced off the wrong side. Ahead of the match, Atlético fans hanged Vinicius Maneting from a bridge at the Real Madrid training ground. It was a scene reminiscent of a hanging.
Real Madrid released an official statement and condemned the opponent’s nerves that went beyond the limit, and the La Liga secretariat also raised its voice, saying, “We strongly condemn the act of hatred towards Vinicius.”
Vinicius does not want to end with a mere warning. A spokesman for Vinicius said, “We want discipline from the office, not an official statement.” hoped for
