Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. was on Saturday the recipient of another harsh reception on the part of an opposing fanbase.
This came in the buildup to Los Blancos’ latest outing.
Real Madrid are of course currently locked in action on the domestic front, in a La Liga meeting with Osasuna.
Álvaro Arbeloa’s troops head into the fixture in the knowledge that a victory would see them, at least temporarily, open a five-point advantage atop the Spanish top-flight table.
In efforts towards as much, though, Real’s stars (and one player in particular) look set to be faced with a tense atmosphere.
As revealed by COPE, upon their arrival at El Sadar for this evening’s matchup, several Blancos stars, chiefly attacker Vinícius Jr, were targeted with heavy boos and jeers.
Vinícius’ harsh treatment of course comes fresh off a difficult night for the Brazilian in midweek, when he was the subject of alleged racist abuse on the part of Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni.
