Matheus Reis was one of several footballers to react to Vinícius Júnior's post after the Benfica - Real Madrid match (1-0), a game in which the star of the Spanish team complained about being the target of racist insults by Gianluca Prestianni.
At the end of the match, the Brazilian international shared an image of himself dancing next to the corner flag at the Estádio da Luz - a moment captured during the goal celebration - accompanied by the caption: "See you at the Bernabéu."
Among the various reactions to the post, Matheus Reis, currently playing for CSKA Moscow, stood out by writing: "Dance, Vini! Fire to the racists." The comment section also featured contributions from Rafael Leão and Cardinal, among others.
It should be remembered that the Brazilian defender was involved in a controversial incident during stoppage time in the Sporting - Benfica match in the Portuguese Cup final last May. At that time, the former player of the green and whites was subjected to several insults from Benfica fans, as was his family.
Matheus Reis played 222 matches for the lions, during which he scored three goals and made 11 assists. During this period (2021-2026), the defender contributed to winning three National Championships, one Portuguese Cup, one League Cup, and one Portuguese Super Cup.
