One of the most significant talking points after Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory over Real Oviedo was Vinicius Jr.’s exclusion from the starting lineup.
Rodrygo had the opportunity to play on his favored left wing as Xabi Alonso took the audacious decision to rest the Brazilian superstar.
Although the tactical move was successful, Vinicius quickly made waves after his inclusion in the second half.
The forward did manage to score, demonstrating his ability to make snap decisions in front of goal once more.

As the game progressed, tensions only increased, making his presence one of the night’s most talked-about events.
Vinicius raced to the stands after helping Kylian Mbappe score Madrid’s second goal and made gestures that infuriated the home crowd.
A bottle and other items were thrown from the spectators, creating a nasty situation.
Mbappe covered his lips and urged his teammate to maintain his composure in an attempt to calm him down, but the Brazilian kept arguing with the supporters.
After Vinicius scored Madrid’s third goal to win the match, the drama reached its climax.
Vinicius Appears To Mock The Status Of Real Oviedo
He mocked the status of the club by turning to the Oviedo fans and making a “Second Division” hand gesture instead of having a reserved celebration.
The Carlos Tartiere stadium was filled with tension as the jeering got louder.
The story continued even after the final whistle was blown. Vinicius shared a picture of himself celebrating his goal on social media, stating “This is who I am.”
Even though Real Madrid won, Vinicius and his tense relationship with opposition fans were once again the center of attention.
