Koke and Vinicius had a tense confrontation during the Atlético vs. Real Madrid derby at the Metropolitano on Sunday. The incident occurred when Vinicius fell after a challenge with Le Normand. Koke, the Atlético captain, approached Vinicius and criticized him for going to ground. This sparked an immediate reaction from the Brazilian, who sprang to his feet, leading to an intense face-off.
The two players exchanged heated words, standing just centimeters apart. As they distanced themselves, the argument continued. DAZN cameras captured Vinicius reminding Koke of his record, saying, "You’ve got nothing, I have two Champions Leagues," while holding up two fingers to emphasize his point. Giménez stepped in to defuse the situation, but Vinicius persisted: "Yes, two, you’ve got nothing."
Koke responded with ironic applause, and after Vinicius walked away, he returned, continuing to taunt the Atlético captain: "You’ve lost two, I’ve won two. That’s why I play for Madrid," pointing to the Real Madrid crest. Koke again responded with applause as Bellingham and Modric intervened to calm Vinicius. Fortunately, the incident remained a verbal exchange without further escalation.
