Vinicius in anger: the Real Madrid captain wanted to confront a player who challenged him to a boxing match.

Vinicius Junior came close to sparking a real brawl in the tunnel area following the match against Mallorca (3-0) in the semifinals of the Spanish Super Cup.
Винисиус в гневе: лидер Реала хотел разобраться с игроком, который вызвал его на боксерский поединок.

Background: after one of the La Liga matches, the opponent's defender of the "whites," Pablo Maffeo, was so furious about the Brazilian's behavior that he promised to knock him out in 10 seconds during a boxing match. The leader of the Madrid team took these words seriously.

During a new encounter between Vinicius and Maffeo, there were many contact moments, primarily due to their play on the same flank. One such episode became a hit on social media.

Junior was so eager to take the ball from Pablo that he "helped" him reach it by sliding under his opponent in a way that caused him to spectacularly flip over.

After the game, a new video surfaced in the media, showing Vinicius attempting to say something (and more) to Maffeo, but his teammates held him back. The Real Madrid leader was itching for a fight, but it didn't happen.

Let’s remember, the "whites" will play in the Supercopa de España final against Barcelona on Saturday. The kickoff will be at 21:00 Kyiv time.
