Simeone Warns Vinícius Jr: Florentino Pérez Could Force You Out of Real Madrid

Tensions boiled over during the high-stakes Spanish Super Cup semi-final, as a heated verbal altercation erupted between Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone and Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior. According to reports from the Spanish radio station COPE, the friction intensified significantly during the first half of the Madrid derby, with the Argentine coach visibly agitated by the Brazilian winger's on-field behavior. This sideline clash adds another controversial chapter to the fierce rivalry between the two capital clubs, drawing immediate media attention to the dynamics between the veteran coach and the young forward.

The exchange reportedly turned personal when Simeone delivered a biting remark to the Real Madrid attacker, explicitly warning him: "Vini, Vini... Florentino Pérez will kick you out, remember that I told you this." While the exact trigger for the comment highlights Simeone's frustration with Vinícius Júnior, the drama continued off the pitch as well. The report indicates that Simeone also engaged in a discussion with Dani Carvajal while heading into the tunnel at halftime, though the specific details of that conversation remain undisclosed, leaving fans and pundits to speculate on the full extent of the half-time fallout.
