Vinicius Junior had a memorable response for Barcelona’s Gavi after Real Madrid’s disappointing 4-0 loss in El Clasico.
Following Barcelona’s emphatic victory at the Santiago Bernabeu, in which they netted four second-half goals, Gavi taunted Vinicius by holding up four fingers, a gesture signaling the match’s final scoreline.
However, the Real Madrid winger had a quick retort. According to El Chiringuito, Vinicius responded calmly, saying, “Yes, yes, but on Monday I’m going for the Ballon d’Or.”
The reply has sparked wide reactions, suggesting the player’s ambition for individual recognition, despite Real Madrid’s struggles in La Liga’s title race.
Barcelona’s win places them six points clear at the top, but Vinicius remains focused on his Ballon d’Or prospects.
He is a top contender for the prestigious award, thanks to his impressive season where he played a crucial role in Real Madrid’s La Liga and Champions League double last year.
However, this term, both clubs remain locked in a battle at the top of La Liga.
On Monday October 28, Vinicius will hope to become the first Brazilian to win the Ballon d’Or since Kaka in 2007.
