Shocking Images Between the Madridist and the Culé With Their National Team
The international breaks always make clubs tremble, and not just because of the dreaded FIFA virus. It is also the scene of a reunion between footballers from rival teams usually. Like Madridists and Barcelonists, who sometimes bring their tensions to the national teams.
The latest protagonists have been Vinícius and Raphinha in a clash during the Brazil – Colombia match. The Canarinha managed to prevail thanks to a great performance by the Madridist, who was the main protagonist. Although he was about to be so for something he wouldn’t have liked much.

After scoring the 2 to 1 in stoppage time, the coach decided to take him off the field.Vinícius, like all footballers, wanted to waste some time to secure the victory. Something that didn’t please his rivals and neither the referee, who asked him to leave quickly.
In the midst of it all, Raphinha appeared, who got between the referee and Viníciusto avoid further issues. He gave him a slight push to prevent him from taking more risks and to leave the field. Something he repeated when the Madridist turned to protest something.
Vinícius Is Essential for Brazil and Raphinha Didn’t Want to Take Risks
The truth is that Brazil needed the victory against Colombia to avoid complications in the standings. Right now, they are second, pending Uruguay and Ecuador playing their matches this Friday. So they tighten the table to avoid more troubles on their way to the 2026 World Cup.
Perhaps that’s why Raphinha didn’t want his time-wasting to result in a disciplinary sanction. It would be a drama for the Canarinha to lose Vinícius for the next match. Especially considering they face Argentina this Wednesday in a duel that could bring them closer to the lead.
Indeed, against Colombia, Vinícius caused the penalty that resulted in the 1 to 0 and that Raphinha ended up scoring. In the 98th minute, he unleashed a strike that set the final 2 to 1 on the scoreboard. He was essential for Brazil, and they can’t afford to lose him for such an important commitment.
