The last night was one to remember for FC Barcelona fans. After not having tasted victory in their last four encounters against Los Blancos, the Blaugranes dealt a crushing defeat to their fiercest rivals, Real Madrid, as they emerged victorious with a 4-0 scoreline.
Flick went into this game with the same team that he fielded against Bayern Munich, with the midfield composed of Marc Casado, Pedri, and Fermin Lopez.
However, by the end of this match, all three of these players had left the field, as the Barcelona manager brought on Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo, and Gavi for these players.
Gavi was the last to step onto the pitch, as he was substituted in only three minutes before the end of the 90 minutes.
However, he was still able to enjoy himself on the pitch, especially with a clash that he had with Vinicius Junior. The conflict erupted as the two players fought for a ball. The referee gave a free-kick in Real Madrid’s favor, but this did not stop the two players from getting engaged in an argument.
A recent report from El Chiringuito (h/t Mundo Deportivo) has now provided details of how this argument took place. After exchanging some words, Gavi could be seen raising four of his fingers to depict the scoreline with which the Blaugranes were winning on the night. His lips could also be read to be saying “four”.
Responding to this, Vinicius Junior highlighted his own achievements, as he said: “Yes, yes, but on Monday I’m going for the Ballon d’Or.”
The Brazilian is the favorite to win the golden ball this year, as he won the La Liga and the UEFA Champions League titles with Real Madrid last year. However, the last night was a forgettable one for him, and he would certainly not have wished to go to Paris to collect this award after such a defeat.
