The Brazilian winger's sending off towards the end of the match became a major talking as he was spotted shoving Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski in the head.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
The Spanish champions were trailing at half-time thanks to Hugo Duro's 27th-minute goal. In the tunnel, Vincius was captured by the TV cameras giving an intense talk to his teammates as he predicted his team's late victory.
WHAT VINICIUS SAID
On Movistar's cameras, Mbappe was first captured saying: "We have to respond with a goal." The Brazilian then replied: "Of course, when they blow the whistle for fouls. We score a goal and they sh*t themselves. Just a little bit more, a little bit more and that's it."
