Carlo Ancelotti dragged Vinicius Jr off the pitch in Real Madrid’s clash with Barcelona, after the Brazilian wasted time in exiting the turf.
Vinicius was substituted in the dying embers of the encounter with Lucas Vazquez coming on to replace him, but he took much time in leaving the field.
His teammate in Brazil, Raphinha, rushed over to push him off the turf, but he still didn’t want to exit in a hurry.

However, Carlo Ancelotti wasn’t having any of Vinicius’s shenanigans and he grabbed the Brazilian by the arm and walked him out of the turf.
Vinicius Jr didn’t get his name on the score sheet against Barcelona and he had an average performance against Xavi Hernandez’s side.
Following the encounter, the 23-year-old took to social media to share a picture of their goal celebration, with the caption “New Era”.
Vinicius Jr has made 10 appearances for Real Madrid this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists in all competitions.
The former Flamengo forward is yet to ignite into his regular form, like he did in the 2022/23 season, scoring 23 goals and providing 21 assists in 55 appearances.
Vinicius Jr joined Real Madrid on July 12, 2018, from Brazilian club Flamengo, for a fee of €45 million.
His antics against Barcelona were perceived by many to be overboard and as one that could have resulted in possible racial slurs against him.
Vinicius Jr on social media
Vinicius Jr is known to be a lively figure in Los Blancos dressing room, and his outgoing nature has also been witnessed severally on social media.
In different instances, his posts on social media have been attributed as a dig at rivals Barcelona.
One notable of such posts was the arrival of youngster Arda Guler, who opted to join Real Madrid ahead of Barcelona.
Vinicius took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to quote the announcement post made by Real Madrid and he wrote “One more who chooses the largest”.
Arda Guler joined Los Merengues from Fenerbahce on July 6, 2023, for a fee of €20 million.
Meanwhile, Vinicius Jr has made 235 appearances for Real Madrid, scoring 62 goals and providing 67 assists across all competitions.
Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr
He has been a keen supporter of teammate Jude Bellingham, who has hit the ground running since his arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Bellingham has scored 13 goals and provided 3 assists in 13 appearances for the White Angels across all competitions.
Right from when it was made official that Jude Bellingham would join Real Madrid, Vinicius Jr has welcomed him with open arms.
Despite the Englishman seemingly enveloping the spotlight, Vinicius Jr has been unbothered by that.
Anyway, Real Madrid trade tackles with Rayo Vallecano next on November 5, 2023, in a La Liga fixture, and both players are expected to feature in the game, barring any injuries.
