Vini Jr, who had recently arrived in Rio de Janeiro for a few days off, received a passionate tribute at the Flamengo-Vasco da Gama clasico of Rio de Janeiro. The Real Madrid player went down to the Maracana pitch at halftime to receive the shirts of the two teams.

Vinicius, visibly touched, placed his hand over his heart in appreciation and raised both shirts, with the number 20, and exhibited them to the public, the team of his life, Flamengo, and its greatest rival.

"I am very happy to be in the Maracana, to see Flamengo, a clasico. Very happy with everything they have done for me and that I can continue to fight for all those who are to come," Vinicius told TV Globe in a brief statement.
