IIt is well known that defending is not one of the Vinicius Jr. his strengths, but no one expected him to end up on the ground after being attacked by an opposing player during an amateur futsal match.
The incident, filmed and reported by The Sun, happened at Club Canto do Rio in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.
What happened to Vinicius Jr.?
Vinicius, who began his career at the club at the age of seven and has since reached the pinnacle of world football, is currently on holiday in Brazil after taking part in the Copa America.
In the video, we see a young futsal player dribbling Vinicius and leaving him sitting on the ground.
Despite the embarrassing moment, there were no hard feelings; Vinicius quickly stood up and shook the player's hand. The clip has been viewed over 1.6 million times, leaving fans stunned.
“If there were no pictures, who would believe it?” added one fan.
“The funny thing is, this will be the typical story of the guy who won't even make it as a gamer… but this video will exist forever,” wrote another.
This simple setback will not remain long in the Brazilian's memory, however, as the striker is expected to return to pre-season training with Real Madrid soon.
He will work alongside Kylian Mbappéwho joined Los Blancos via a Bosman deal this summer, and will look to form Real Madrid's next great attacking line.
