The Supercopa de Espana semifinal match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid in Jeddah turned intense when tempers flared between the two teams' players and staff. The heated exchange between Vinicius Jr. and Atletico coach Diego Simeone escalated when the Real Madrid winger was substituted in the 80th minute. While leaving the field, Vinicius exchanged gestures and words with Simeone, prompting Real Madrid coaches, including Xabi Alonso, to rush towards Simeone, who was restrained by officials. The incident sparked a war of words, with Atletico Madrid's official X account posting a cryptic message blaming Vinicius for the altercation. The post read: "It's curious how much time some people spend analyzing a reaction... and how little they devote to clarifying the provocation that gives rise to it.
