Vinisius Junior responded to Manchester City fans with a crying gesture

Vinisius Junior announced that he responded to the fans who mocked him with a crying gesture during the match against Manchester City. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The Real Madrid forward emphasized that after helping his team gain the advantage in the Champions League, he responded to critics with this gesture. Goal.com reported on this.

The Brazilian player was sent off after Bernardo Silva played the ball with his hand on the line, and then opened the scoring from the penalty. After the goal, Vinisius first pointed towards the stands and then repeated the crying gesture.

This caused dissatisfaction among the home fans at the Etihad Stadium. After the match, Vinisius explained this reaction with his previous experience in Manchester.

At that time, some fans joked about him finishing second in the Ballon d’Or voting after Rodri. Vinisius described this gesture not as a general disrespect, but as a way to respond and show himself on a big stage.

This goal further strengthened Vinisius's statistics against Manchester City. He has now directly contributed to eight goals against Pep Guardiola’s team in the Champions League.

The only player who has contributed more goals against the English club in the competition is Lionel Messi. Guardiola’s team admitted that the game became difficult after falling behind and being reduced to 10 men on the field.

Nevertheless, he emphasized his team’s defense and stated that Manchester City is still a great team. He considered such tough matches not as a sign of defeat, but as an opportunity to learn.
