Vinicius Junior Replys To Excitement Banner From Manchester City Supporters

Vinicius Junior laughed loudly in front of Manchester City fans with a sharp caption on X after Real Madrid removed Pep Guardiola's side from the Champions League on Thursday, February 20, 2025.

Ahead of the first leg at the Etihad Stadium in the knockout playoff match, The Citizens fans have unfurled banners showing Rodri kissing the Ballon d'Or trophy with the lyrics of the song Oasis "Stop Crying Your Heart Out" written beside him.

The banner refers to Rodri who defeated the Real Madrid striker in the prestigious individual award awarded by France Football in October 2024.

The refusal made Vinicius and the entire Real Madrid delegation miss the ceremony in Paris.

After Los Blancos won 3-1 in the Bernabeu in the second leg (Aggregate 6-3) which saw them advance to the last 16 of the Champions League, Vinicius tweeted back.

"Okay, okay, okay!!!!!" wrote the Brazilian player on X accompanied by a crying emoji.

Okay okay okay!!!!!!! 😭

The 24-year-old made an important contribution in the first leg of the game, setting Jude Bellingham's last-minute winning goal at the Etihad to give the reigning champions a 3-2 lead ahead of the game at the Bernabeu.

"I see it (spanduk). However, when an opposing fan does something, it always gives me more power to play a great game. Here (Etihad), I do it."

"They know our history and everything we've done in this competition," Vinicius told Movistar after last week's game.
