Former Netherlands and Real player Rafael van der Vaart, while watching the match between Real and Bayern, bluntly shared his opinion about the Madrid team's leader Vinícius Júnior.

The Dutchman was outraged by the Brazilian's frequent falls on the pitch.

On ZiggoSport, R. van der Vaart said: "When I watch Vinícius Júnior, I get extremely irritated.

It makes me especially sad because he is a fantastic player, but as soon as he feels a slight contact, he falls again, hoping to provoke a red card for the opponent, and then, as if nothing happened, he gets up healthy!"

Yesterday, Kylian Mbappé stood out in the ranks of Real, while Vinícius missed several good chances.
