Real Madrid: Tardiness, Vinicius influenced by Ousmane Dembélé | OneFootball

Vinicius Jr

After the humiliation suffered by Real Madrid in Saturday's derby, Vinicius turned up late to training on Sunday. A behavior reminiscent of Ousmane Dembélé during his time at FC Barcelona, which is making headlines in Spain.

Yesterday, Atlético Madrid hosted Real Madrid for a high-voltage showdown in the capital. It was a rollercoaster battle as the Colchoneros took a 1-0 lead, then Real Madrid surged ahead 2-1, before Antoine Griezmann and his teammates ultimately triumphed in a wild 5-2 thriller. The clash lived up to every expectation and could leave some lasting marks on the Merengues.

The day after this humiliation, Vinicius committed a minor transgression that didn't go unnoticed by the Spanish press. The Brazilian arrived four minutes late, just like Ousmane Dembélé on his off days at Barça. "Vinicius, late for Real Madrid training. The Brazilian arrived at Valdebebas at 9:34 am, four minutes after the scheduled time," joked the El Chiringuito show.

Back in the day, it was the famous "11 minutos tarde" that made headlines for Dembélé. But since then, everything has changed and this week he claimed the first Ballon d'Or of his career. Let's hope this little delay sparks the same effect for the Brazilian.
