Before Real Madrid’s Spanish Super Cup semifinal clash with Mallorca, Pablo Maffeo boldly claimed he’d knock Vinicius Jr. down in 10 seconds if they were in the boxing ring.
But when the two went head-to-head on the pitch, it was clear that Maffeo’s words didn’t quite match his actions.
Every time the Brazilian made contact, Maffeo was seen tumbling and theatrically writhing on the ground.
Vinicius’ teammates weren’t having it.
Jude Bellingham, for one, didn’t hold back after the match, firing off a message to Maffeo.
“10 seconds, eh? Boxing? You f**king soft pr*ck.”
Someone had to put him in his place.
