This weekend, far from the football fields, Vinicius junior took advantage of his suspension after his sending off against Valencia to indulge in one of his new passions: paddle. The Brazilian player of the Real Madrid shared a special moment with the Spaniard Juan Lebrón, nicknamed “El Lobo”.

On social media, Lebrón posted a photo alongside Vinicius, with both players holding the last shovel Babolat of the Spanish champion. Accompanying the photo, a friendly message: “Well done friend”. Vinicius did not fail to respond with humor: “Not bad”.

A passion shared by other Real Madrid stars

Vinicius is not the only member of the Real Madrid to be interested in padel. Teammates like Dani Carvajal, often seen with the former Madrid player Joselu Mato, or Dani Ceballos and even Kylian Mbappé, also try their hand at padel.

Juan Lebrón, an ambassador of padel

This is not the first time Juan Lebrón shares the track with stars from other disciplines. The former world number 1 is known for attracting top athletes. Recent partners include names like Ferran Torres (FC Barcelona), the MMA fighter Ilia Topuria or even the NBA basketball player Jimmy Butler.

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 !
