Real Madrid beat Espanyol 2-0, delaying Barcelona’s title celebrations , in a game where Vinicius was the main figure, not only for the two goals he scored, but also for his constant provocations towards his opponents. The television channel Movistar Plus+ placed a camera to follow the Brazilian international and captured the forward’s conversations, with particular emphasis on the dialogues he had with the Moroccan Omar El Hilali, who was marking him in that game.
In a little while you’ll be asking me for my jersey and I won’t give it to you. Stop being silly. You want to fight? If you want to play, let’s play. You’re going to the second division, the Brazilian striker snapped in a confrontation that lasted for almost the entire game. Vinicius provoked El Hilali again during a corner kick. Wait, the ball is stopped and you’re already grabbing me?, he asked. The Moroccan shrugged: What do you want me to do?. Vinicius didn’t let him off the hook: But why do you have to push? You’re always pushing. I’m calm, brother. It’s not that you’re stupid, you’re being stupid to get on television, he retorted.
The truth is that El Hilali was initially sent off in the first half after an alleged foul on Vinicius, but the referee, much to the Brazilian’s dismay, reversed the decision after being alerted by VAR.
Nevertheless, the Real Madrid forward went to the Espanyol bench to advise coach Manolo Gonzalez to take Al Hilali off the field: If you don’t want to be fired…, he warned.
