During a difficult victory for “Real” in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey against “Leganes” (3:2), there was a quarrel between the players of the “whites”.
Luka Modric, Getty ImagesAs reported by Cadena SER, five minutes before the final whistle, “Leganes” launched a counter-attack and earned a corner kick. Luka Modric addressed Vinicius Junior to return to his own goal and help the team in defense. The Brazilian reacted emotionally to the captain’s call, leading to a heated exchange of words.
Modric was clearly frustrated with Vinicius’ defensive work throughout the match, trying to influence his partner. Moreover, the star forward of “Real” missed the post-match celebration with the team. Instead, he immediately left the field and headed for the locker room.
