Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. has, on Saturday night, taken his place front and centre in the headlines once more.
This comes owing to the Brazilian’s efforts during Real’s latest outing.
Los Blancos are currently locked in action, hopeful of taking a first step towards a cup double in a Copa del Rey finale showdown with Osasuna.
And, as things stand at the Estadio de La Cartuja, this is precisely what Carlo Ancelotti’s troops are headed towards.
This comes owing to a slender one-goal advantage, secured by frontman Rodrygo.
It was the aforementioned Vinicius Jr, though, whose brilliance created the opening for his fellow countryman to slot home, skipping beyond a host of Osasuna players to clinch his latest dazzling assist.

Vinicius’ fine evening, though, soon took a turn for the worse.
This came as Osasuna’s stars took it upon themselves to rile the Brazilian up, ultimately culminating in a heated altercation breaking out between the two sides on their way down the tunnel at half-time:
