Just two minutes into the game at Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday, Rayo Vallecano’s Florian Lejeune stomped on Vinicius Junior’s foot in the box.

After the match, however, the Brazilian forward wasn’t about to let it slide.

He took to X, posting a photo of the moment in question — except he didn’t realize that the image he borrowed had a little something extra at the bottom: a logo for the betting company Stake.

That awkward oversight meant the tweet had to be deleted within minutes.

But, as we all know, the internet never forgets.
