Vinicius threatened to go on strike after Real Madrid's terrible mistake on social media

Spanish internet outlet Relevo have reported what they call a “crisis” between star player Vinicius Jr and Real Madrid, the Catalan newspaper. Sport reported tonight.

Two days before Madrid's trip to Mestalla last weekend, the club's social media channel posted a photo of Vinicius kissing the badge, with a “sticker” attached with the evolution of monkey to man – apparently the logo of some Israeli DJs “Vini Vici”.

Presumably the social media kid just searched for “Vini” and added the first thing he saw. Big mistake. Vinicius apparently threatened not to travel to Valencia until he was treated, and the club's director, Jose Angel Sanchez, had to be involved to smooth things over.

As always, we are sure that this above, but it is easy to understand why the player is angry, and why Madrid will be very embarrassed.

There will probably be some angry meetings, maybe some looting, but in the end it's just a stupid mistake, and not something that will really threaten a massive. mutually beneficial relationship.

We'll see what happens when this hits the mainstream press later today, however.
