Otamendi provoked Vinicius Jr. with Argentina's titles

The duel between Real Madrid and Benfica had it all, great goals, controversy, great saves, expulsions and a great atmosphere in the stadium, although the crowd overstepped the mark at times with Brazilian Vinicius Jr.

World champion with Argentina, Nicolas Otamendi, had a small confrontation with Real Madrid's Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior, where the defender did not hold anything back and decided to show him who is the real legend in front of the young Brazilian who has not yet managed to win anything with the "Scratch du Oro".

Benfica vs Real Madrid: Vinicius Jr's great goal gives Real Madrid the advantage

Benfica at home was looking to make history again after what happened in the last match of the regular phase of the Champions League, where the Portuguese team qualified against Real Madrid with a last-minute play. Thanks to fate, these two teams would meet again now in the playoffs on their way to the next phase of the Champions League.

Real Madrid, who have gone from strength to strength this season, now had the difficult task of trying to return to the Santiago Bernabeu with an advantage, which they achieved thanks to a great goal from Vinicius Junior, who placed the ball into the top corner after the opposition defence failed to properly mark the Brazilian.

The striker's goal provoked the displeasure of the Benfica fans, who began to insult him and throw things at him after the goal. In addition, a Benfica player allegedly insulted the Brazilian, which provoked even more fighting on the field where Otamendi sought to calm his teammates as well as the opponent.

Otamendi showed Vini Jr. his tattoos of the Finalissima, World Cup and Copa America

Already in the final part of the match after 12 minutes of added time, Vinicius exchanged some words with the world champion, who simply lifted his shirt and showed his champion tattoos with Argentina, showing that he has really won everything with his national team while he has not been able to win anything with Brazil.

Vinicius Junior is very likely to be on the final list being prepared by Carlo Ancelotti for the Brazil national team, where the young and controversial Real Madrid player will seek the long-awaited World Cup in the tournament co-hosted by Mexico, the United States and Canada.
