Video catches Vini Jr ‘humiliating’ Simeone in Real Madrid v Atlético | OneFootball

Revealed by Flamengo, Vini Jr. shines for Real Madrid (ESP) in the derby

Revenge is a dish best served cold, and Vini Jr. put that saying into practice on Sunday (22). That's because the player revealed by Flamengo led Real Madrid (ESP) to a 3-2 victory over Atlético de Madrid (ESP). Thus, the forward took advantage of the applause at Santiago Bernabéu to get back at Diego Simeone, his rival coach.

“They’re going to sell me, right? Haha. They’re going to sell me,” Vini Jr. joked as he left the field after scoring two goals in the 28th round of the Spanish Championship. The phrase refers to Simeone’s taunt back in January of this year.

How did Simeone provoke Vini Jr.?

“You’re going to be fired. Florentino (Pérez) is going to sell you,” shouted the Atlético de Madrid coach during the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup. At that time, the Real Madrid forward was going through a rough patch that he has since overcome.

Did Vini Jr. destroy Atlético de Madrid?

Choking is not part of the routine for the Ninho do Urubu academy product, who led the Merengues’ comeback. Simeone’s team took the lead, the star equalized, Valverde put Real ahead, the opponent tied again, and the former Flamengo player scored the winning goal.

What is Vini Jr.’s next match?
