Le   Real Madrid  won 2-1 against Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabéu, on Matchday 3 of La Liga. An evening marked by the return of  Vinicius Jr.  as a starter… and with his first goal of the season. But what really got people talking was his celebration.

After scoring Madrid's second goal, Vini mimed a gesture as if he were holding a racket. In reality, it was a dedication to padel, a well-known passion of the Brazilian.

On Instagram, the striker confirmed the tribute by posting: “A little padel at the Bernabéu”, quoting  Juan Lebrón , a big supporter of Real Madrid present in the stands and with whom he regularly shares padel sessions.

The message was soon answered by “El Lobo”, who simply commented: "The best"A bond between two stars of their discipline, and further proof that padel continues to attract the greatest athletes.

I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
