Atletico Madrid "erases" Vinicius: "Goal for the home side!"

T he president always tells me that I have to score two goals and today I scored two, they are for him," was Vinicius ' response after the victory against Atletico at the Bernabeu. A subtle statement that points directly to Simeone , who during the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup told him "Florentino is going to kick you out. Remember that he is going to kick you out. He's going to kick you out, remember what I'm telling you".

This was compounded by what happened on social media. Atletico's official account published the goals of the match without mentioning Vinicius in their own, using generic expressions such as "home goal" or "Real Madrid equalise from the penalty spot" . However, they did identify Valverde in the goal that made it 2-1, which made the contrast even more evident.

From "the home side's goal" to "Real Madrid equalise from the penalty spot"

It did not take long for Real Madrid fans to react and flood Atletico's posts with mocking comments and countless gifs. "Don't you know the name?", "Say the name", "Sorry, who?" or "Why when Vini scores don't they say who it was?" , were some of the thousands of comments that flooded the red and white club's posts during the match at the Bernabeu.
