Vinicius Jr trolls Fermin Lopez for copying Jude Bellingham's celebration after Real Madrid's 3-2 win against Barcelona
Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr trolled Barcelona midfielder Fermin Lopez for imitating Jude Bellingham's celebration after scoring a goal against Real Madrid in Sunday night's El Clasico (April 21). Los Blancos went on to win the match 3-2 after Bellingham scored a stoppage-time winner against the Blaugranas.
Fermin Lopez scored a goal in the 69th minute, making the score 2-1. However, this lead did not last long as Real Madrid equalized four minutes later.
Making fun of Lopez's celebration after scoring, Vinicius Jr commented on a post on X (formerly Twitter) with a laughing emoji. The post read, "Él creía que era Jude Bellingham," which translates to, "He thought he was Jude Bellingham."
It is understood that Vinicius was making fun of Lopez's celebration, which looked similar to his teammate Jude Bellingham's signature celebration. Lopez spread out his arms after scoring the goal, much like Bellingham does after scoring.
Vinicius Jr previously trolled Barcelona after Real Madrid's 2-1 win in previous Clasico
After last night's defeat, Barcelona have now lost three consecutive El Clasicos in the current season. The La Liga rivals last faced each other in the league on October 28, 2023, with Los Blancos winning the match 2-1.
Much like last night, Jude Bellingham was hailed as the hero of the previous Clasico as he scored two important goals, leading his team to victory.
Following the Spanish club's triumph, Vinicius Jr took to X (formerly Twitter) to take an alleged dig at Barcelona. He posted a picture of his celebration with his teammates, captioning it "new era."
The "new era" was a supposed reference to Barcelona's 2022 documentary of the same name. The post was supposedly intended to mean that it is Real Madrid who will be leading the new era instead of their rivals.
In January, the Brazilian attacker scored a hat-trick against the Blaugranas in the Supercopa de Espana final, leading his team to victory. He is currently the first Brazilian to score a hat-trick against the Catalan club as a Madrid player.
The forward is also the first player to score a Clasico hat-trick in the Supercopa de Espana. Los Blancos won the Supercopa de Espana 4-1, with Vinicius's teammate Rodrygo scoring the side's fourth goal.
