VINICIUS JR was incensed after Barcelona fans poked fun at his Ballon d’Or snub during Sunday’s El Clasico.
Barcelona all-but sealed the LaLiga title with a 4-3 victory over Real Madrid in a tense El Clasico at the weekend.
Vinicius failed to score as Barcelona overturned a two-goal deficit to put themselves seven points clear of Madrid.
And the home support were certainly enjoying themselves, relishing the victory by poking fun at their rivals.
That included one fan holding up a beach ball to Vinicius as he left the pitch, prompting the Brazilian winger to let out his anger and berate the cheeky fan.
The bizarre prop was a nod to chants that have been aimed at Vinicus calling him “Vinicius Beach Ball” since his Ballon d’Or snub last year.
