Predrag Mijatovic chastised Vinicius Junior for celebrating his goal, and he’s been warned that Real Madrid supporters are “upset” about it.

Consequently, what happened?

After a tense first hour in which opportunities were few, the Brazilian attacker broke the scoreless draw at Real Arena on Saturday by scoring from 12 yards out. Whistles resounded around the stadium anytime Vinicius got possession, as the home crowd attempted to get under the Brazilian’s skin from the very beginning of the game.

THE LARGER IMAGE

Vinicius also glanced back to the gallery a few times, acknowledging the stick from the audience with a sardonic smile. However, in an effort to quiet the supporters, the forward made a “shoosh” motion as he sprinted towards the corner flag after eventually defeating Alex Remiro from the spot.

MIJATOVIC’S QUOTES

In an interview with Sport, Mijatovic expressed his displeasure with Vinicius’ goal celebration, saying, “He’s throwing stones at his own roof.” Especially in light of everything that is going on around him, he is hurling stones. He needs to take this action and gradually relax. Although we were thrilled with the goal, the celebration left us feeling let down. What is his need for this? He’s causing a lot of damage to himself. Many Real Madrid supporters I talk to like him, but we’re all disappointed in his actions.”

FUTURE ACTIONS FOR VINICUS?
It will be interesting to watch if Vinicius takes Mijatovic’s counsel and changes his methods when he plays in a hostile away arena next time. On Tuesday, though, he plays Stuttgart in the Champions League at Santiago Bernabeu.
