T“He always tells me that I have to score two goals and today I scored two goals, it’s for him,” was Vinicius’ response after the win against Atlético at the Bernabéu. This subtle remark was made by Simeone in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final: “Florentino is going to get rid of you. Remember that he is going to get rid of you. He is going to get rid of you, remember what I told you.”
What happened on social media made the situation even worse. Atlético’s official account did not mention Vinicius, instead announcing the match’s goal using general phrases such as “home goal” and “Real Madrid equalized from the penalty spot.” But Valverde’s goal to make it 2-1 made the contrast even clearer.
From ‘home team goal’ to ‘Real Madrid’s equalizer from the penalty spot’
It didn’t take long for Real Madrid fans to react, flooding Atlético’s post with mocking comments and countless GIFs. “Don’t you know my name?” “Say my name” “Sorry, who?” Among the thousands of comments that flooded the red-and-white club’s posts during the match at the Bernabéu were comments such as “Why don’t you say who scored when Vini scored?”
