The Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid played in Arabia was high tension. During the contest, which the whites won and which served to secure a ticket for the Super Cup final, several clashes were seen both on the pitch and on the benches. One of the highlights took place in the first half when Simeone attacked Vinicius and told him: “Florentino is going to throw you out, ‘remember’ what I tell you…”.
It was the phrase that the Movistar+ cameras captured. Also the scuffle in the second half when, precisely, the Brazilian was substituted. Cholo went back to him to try to tickle him. “Listen, listen,” he said to the Real Madrid player to remind him that the whistles from the stands were coming towards him.
This comment made Vinicius very angry, but also Xabi Alonso, who reproached his counterpart on the Atlético bench for attacking his player. “You to yours, you bastard!” the Basque coach shouted at Simeone, visibly annoyed.
But after the final whistle, the friction continued. The Brazilian forward used social networks to throw another dart at Simeone: “You have lost another tie,” the white player wrote along with four emoticons with crying faces.
