Salacious Spanish internet outlet Relevo have flagged up what they call a “crisis” between star player Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid, Catalan paper Sport reported last night.
Two days before Madrid’s trip to Mestalla last weekend, the club’s social media channel’s posted a picture of Vinicius kissing the badge, with a “sticker” attached featuring the evolution of ape to man – apparently the logo of some Israeli DJs “Vini Vici”.
Presumably the social media kid just searched “Vini” and added the first thing he saw. Big mistake. Vinicius apparently threated to not travel to Valencia until it was dealt with, and club director Jose Angel Sanchez had to get involved to smooth things over.
As always, we’re sure this will blow over, but it’s easy to understand why the player is angry, and why Madrid will be very embarrassed.
There will likely be some angry meetings, maybe a sacking, but ultimately it’s just a stupid mistake, and not something that will really threaten a massively mutually beneficial relationship.
Let’s see what happens when this hits the mainstream press later today, in any case.
