In Spain, there’s a lot of talk about the Vinicius’ gesture towards Atletico Madrid fans. He’s already disliked everywhere except at the Santiago Bernabeu, and now the antagonism towards Brazilian will only intensify.Not because of his performance, as he’s a fantastic player, but due to behavior unworthy of a member of the royal club. The winger is increasingly struggling with the insults from the stands that he’s exposed to, partly due to his own actions and irritating gestures, no matter where Real Madrid plays. This was the case again during the second-leg of the Champions League Round of 16 at Atletico’s stadium.Vinicius opens up about Ballon d’Or snubSetting aside the missed penalty, Vinicius was in the spotlight for what he did after being substituted. When Carlo Ancelotti pulled him off the pitch to bring in Endrick, the home fans in the west stand began to insult him. He’s not the first nor the last player to be subjected to inappropriate gestures. However, what was inappropriate in the chanting of “Ball for the beach, ball for the beach,” which was Atletico fans’ way of rubbing salt into Vinicius’s wound for not winning the Ballon d’Or and for being upset with football officials.Vinicius responded by greeting his teammates on the bench and then making a gesture towards the stands. He first showed the number 15, symbolizing how many times Real Madrid has won the European Cup, followed by a zero, indicating that Atletico has never been the best in Europe. This behavior further irritated the crowd, but they have the right to react as they wish. However, a member of the greatest club in the world, who also carries the nickname “Royal,” should not behave like that.🚨1️⃣5️⃣ Vinicius tells Atléti fans: we got 15 UCLs, you zero. pic.twitter.com/Ou0oThr8fM— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) March 12, 2025 “There’s no solution! Vinícius is definitely being called names from the stands the whole time, but as an athlete, he’s in a different role. He can’t behave like a fan. If there’s nonsense in the crowd, there shouldn’t be nonsense on the field. He is an amazing player, one of the best in the world, but no one who isn’t a Real Madrid fan will ever admire him. That’s clear, and it’s a problem. On every stadium, in every match, Vinícius steps outside the boundaries. On top of that, he was poor against Atlético,” said Juanma Castano, a host on the show “El partidazo de cope.”Real Madrid barely managed to keep the crown on their head after Madrid war!And he was poor. Apart from missing the penalty, Vinicius didn’t manage a single shot on target against Jan Oblak, lost 15 duels, tried 14 dribbles, but only succeeded three times. That’s not how the world’s best player plays.##NAJAVA_MECA_8773598##
