Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior is never one to shrink away from a challenge, and during Los Blancos’ 2-0 win over Espanyol, opposite number Omar El Hilali did his best to get to grips with him. Some fo the Brazilian’s attempts to put El Hilali off have been captured on camera.
The Morocco defender was keen to have plenty of contact with Vinicius, and early on in the match, received a red card for a challenge on him. However that was rescinded after a VAR review found that it was insufficient for a sending off. The battle did not stop there though.

Following the game, Movistar+ have captured footage of Vinicius and El Hilali’s conversations. The Brazilian was keen to convey that he felt he was above his opponent after an altercation between the two.
“Later you’ll ask me for my shirt outside and I’m not going to give it to you. Stop being stupid, you’re an idiot. You want to fight? If you want to play, let’s play. You’re going to Segunda.”
