“Vinicius Jr.’s gesture was provocative and disrespectful towards City fans. Football is about class and respect,” Rodri reportedly said after Real Madrid beat Man City.
Vinicius pointed to the 15th Champions League badge on his Real Madrid shirt after he was provoked by Man City fans during the game with an offensive banner.
Vinicius registered two assists as Real Madrid defeated Man City 3-2 in the UCL playoffs.
Before the game, Man City fans unveiled a large TIFO banner telling Vinicius and Real Madrid to “stop crying their eyes out” for losing the Ballon d’Or to Rodri in 2024.
