‘Classless”: Madrid star critised for mocking Barcelona player after El Classico win
Real Madrid continued their dominance over Barcelona by winning the El Classico on Sunday 3-2, stretching their lead on the La Liga table.
Brazilian winger, Vinicius Junior has now been called out for his action towards a Barcelona player after the match.
Vinicius Junior was once again decisive in the El Clasico clash, scoring a goal and assisting another in the 3-2 win over Barcelona on Sunday night.
Despite his performance on the pitch, Junior has managed to attract the ire of Barcelona fans for his off-pitch antics.
After Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez scored his goal to put the Blaugrana 2-1 ahead, he celebrated effusively towards the Santiago Bernabeu crowd.
He also raised his arms in similar fashion to how Jude Bellingham tends to celebrate.
Reacting to this, a Real Madrid fan page on X poked some fun at Fermin, saying ‘He thought he was Jude Bellingham‘, to which Vinicius Junior replied with a laughing face
