Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr and Barcelona’s Gavi, got the media attention ahead of the El Clasico game in midweek.
In the first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu, Gavi and Vinicius squared up to each other, and the cameras of ‘Vamos’ captured the Barcelona player insulting the Brazilian to his face.
A lot was said of the duo ahead of the El Clasico meeting in midweek.
Carlo Ancelotti has however hailed the two young players, but claim Vinicius is leading the way.
He said in his press conference on Friday: “It was a match with a strong rivalry, just like all the Clásicos. There are always run-ins between players.
“In football terms, Vini Jr. is leading the way at Real Madrid and in football as a whole. Everyone at Real Madrid hopes he can continue like this because he’s doing some great things in football.”
