Furious Vinicius Jr loses it at Barcelona fan waving beach ball at him in brutal message over Ballon d’Or snub
VINICIUS JR was incensed after Barcelona fans poked fun at his Ballon d’Or snub during Sunday’s El Clasico.
Barcelona all-but sealed the La Liga title with a 4-3 victory over Real Madrid in a tense Clasico at the weekend.
Vinicius failed to score as Barcelona overturned a two-goal deficit to put themselves seven points clear of Madrid.
And the home support were certainly enjoying themselves, relishing the victory by poking fun at their rivals.
That included one fan holding up a beach ball to Vinicius as he left the pitch, prompting the Brazilian winger to let out his anger and berate the cheeky fan.
The bizarre prop was a nod to chants that have been aimed at Vinicus calling him “Vinicius Beach Ball” since his Ballon d’Or snub last year.
Vinicius and all of Real Madrid‘s invitees snubbed the Ballon d’Or ceremony in October after catching wind that Man City star Rodri was set to win the top prize over the Madrid star.
It seems he still hasn’t got over missing out on football‘s top individual gong as he nibbled at the teasing from the Barca fan in the stands.
It’s not the first time that Vinicius has been riled up by the Ballon d’Or teasing either.
The 24-year-old snapped back at Rayo Vallecano supporters who were chanting the jibe at him back in December.

While walking off the pitch following a 3-3 draw, Vinicius shouted at the Vallecano support: “You’re going down to Segunda” – teasing that Vallecano would be relegated this season.
Vincius was wide of the mark that day, with Vallecano now 8th in La Liga, close to securing European football next term,
While Man City fans also teased Vinicius when Madrid visited the Etihad in the Champions league this season.
The City support unveiled a giant tifo of Rodri kissing the Ballon d’Or trophy alongside the words: “Stop crying your heart out”.
