The match between Real Madrid and Leganes in the quarter-finals of the Spanish King’s Cup witnessed an incident that rarely happened in the royal club, as Luka Modric quarreled with Vinicius Junior.
The incident occurred in the final minutes of the match, when the score was tied 2-2 at Butarque Stadium.
Modric expressed his great anger at Vinicius, who entered as a substitute in the second half, and reprimanded him strongly in front of the television cameras for not performing his defensive duty as he should have.
Despite the great value of the 40-year-old among Real Madrid players, Vinicius did not accept this criticism, and responded to him with great anger.
Modric did not remain silent about this and continued to reprimand Vinicius, and literally told him “Go to hell”.
The newspaper “Marca” reported that Fede Valverde was very angry with Vinicius because of his reaction and lack of respect for Modric’s criticism despite the difference in age, experience and achievements between them.
As for the Brazilian player, he headed straight to the locker room as soon as the final whistle was blown, and did not celebrate the victory with his teammates.
Modric appeared before the media after the match and downplayed what happened by saying that such things always happen in football and that there is no disagreement between him and Vinicius.
