The viral moment of Vinicius upon hearing about Barca's 0-4 thrashing

A video capturing Vinicius’s unexpected reaction at an event with a streamer quickly spread following Barcelona's heavy defeat to Atletico.

While Barcelona suffered a crushing 0-4 loss to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final, an off-field moment involving Vinícius Júnior unexpectedly grabbed attention. The Brazilian star was not watching the match live, as he was attending an event with popular streamer Ibai Llanos in Madrid.

According to Onefootball, Ibai was the one who informed Vinicius of the result. The footage of the Real Madrid player’s reaction quickly circulated on social media: Vinicius initially appeared stunned upon hearing the 0-4 scoreline, then immediately burst into laughter, bouncing with an excited expression. This brief moment was widely shared online, with many seeing it as an unfiltered reaction from a Real Madrid player witnessing the heavy fall of their biggest rival.

The context of this reaction drew even more public interest. At the Metropolitano stadium, Barcelona endured a nightmare first half, repeatedly making defensive errors that allowed Atletico to score four goals before halftime. In the second half, the Catalan team failed to turn things around and even lost a player late in the game, effectively putting one foot out of the final race. This defeat made Barca’s task in the second leg extremely challenging, as they would have to overturn a four-goal deficit.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid appeared rather “cold” about their rival’s result. However, Vinicius’s natural reaction offered a different perspective: the rivalry extends beyond the pitch and is reflected in the emotions of the stars. For Vinicius, Barcelona’s slip was clearly the best possible news amid the fiercely competitive title race in Spain.

The video of Vinicius’s reaction continued to be widely shared, adding fuel to the intense rivalry atmosphere between the two Spanish football giants.
