Real Madrid forward Vinicius is on cloud nine.

After the president of the royal team, Florentino Perez, decided to sack coach Xabi Alonso, the Brazilian has thrived both on and off the field.

Now, the club's coach Alvaro Arbeloa has given the player two days off so that the forward can attend the NikeSKIMS collection launch in Paris.

The famous company created a clothing line in collaboration with well-known American public figure Kim Kardashian.

The woman did not hesitate to come to France, and Vinicius seized the opportunity to take photos with the star.

However, this behind-the-scenes activity of the forward has sparked quite a bit of discussion among fans, who were surprised that Real easily bows to the athlete's wishes.
