Pablo Maffeo crossed paths with Vinicius Júnior: he made a gesture at him and called him a “crybaby”

Pablo Maffeo vs. Vinicio Jr. A story with several chapters. This Wednesday, the Mallorca full-back and the Real Madrid striker crossed paths again on the pitch and did not go unnoticed due to a new duel. The defender called once again “cry” to the Brazilian, but responded in a funny way. The Merengue star has returned to action following a muscle injury sustained in November.

It all happened in the first half: Maffeo, called up by Lionel Scaloni for the last two qualifying matches last November, was engaged in a face-to-face encounter with the attacker (he had to mark him on the right wing) and pretended to rub his eyes with tears to wear him down and make him angry. However, his opponent started laughing.

Immediately afterwards, despite the spicy duel, the players hugged each other in good spirits to try to lower the decibels. In this case, unlike in the past, there was a nice atmosphere. PF played the entire match and ended up getting booked at ST. Vinicius (also given the yellow card) comes off in the 15th minute of the second half.

Maffeo’s first cry for Vinicius and hard kick

The first story between the two dates back to March 14, 2022when the Real Madrid beat Mallorca 3-0 as a guest, also for the Spanish championship. That day, in a difficult match, Maffeo had attacked the Brazilian hard, almost risking hurting him. Incredibly, the full-back didn’t even see the yellow card. A match that did not go unnoticed also due to the racist chants that came from the locals against the Brazilian.

The following year, again at home in the championship, Pablo made a crybaby gesture, just like what he did this Wednesday., although in that case it was much more energetic and widespread. In the end it was a 1-0 victory for Mallorca in Son Moix.
