The Spanish Super Cup semi-final, held at the King Abdullah Sport City in Saudi Arabia, has so far been a tightly contested affair, with both sides struggling to find the decisive breakthrough.
Despite the lack of goals, the match has not been devoid of drama. The spotlight turned to Vinícius Jr. during the half-time interval, when a tense confrontation unfolded between the Brazilian forward and Mallorca’s Pablo Maffeo.
This incident added to their history of on-pitch clashes, often occurring during their battles on Real Madrid’s left flank.
The latest episode of their rivalry came to a head as the two teams made their way off the pitch for the break. According to a report by Javier Rodríguez Pascual of Relevo, tempers flared in the tunnel, leading to a chaotic scene.
Vinícius, visibly agitated, confronted Maffeo, seemingly to express his displeasure over something that had transpired during the game.
The altercation quickly escalated, with tensions running high on both sides. Real Madrid assistant coach Davide Ancelotti wasted no time stepping in to defend his player, attempting to de-escalate the situation.
