Barcelona's Eric Garcia made Ballon d'Or quip to Vinicius vs Real Madrid

Barcelona ran riot at the Bernabeu in a stunning 4-0 win over Real Madrid on Sunday night.

While it’s no secret that the Blaugrana have been enjoying a renaissance under Xavi in recent weeks, nobody could have expected them to secure such a convincing victory over the La Liga leaders.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men simply seemed far too relaxed and unmotivated for a game that they would have expected to win having already beaten Barcelona under both Ronald Koeman and Xavi this season.

However, Los Blancos were well and truly caught napping in front of their own fans with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dropping a Man of the Match performance featuring two goals and an assist.

It was his headed goal that fired Barcelona into a first-half lead, before Ronald Araújo doubled the advantage from a corner and Ferran Torres got the second 45 minutes off to a great start with a goal of his own.

Therefore, by the time that Aubameyang put the Catalan giants truly from without reach, Xavi’s men could really enjoy the occasion and swagger their way to an El Clasico victory for the ages.

And few players looked more frustrated with Real‘s capitulation than Vinicius Junior, who was at the heart of controversy for what looked like a blatant example of diving.

So, just imagine how annoyed the Brazilian winger must have been when he was on the receiving end of mockery from Eric Garcia during the Bernabeu battering, according to reports from Spain.

According to Marca, the Movistar cameras captured the Barcelona defender getting into Vinicius’ head by making reference to the hype around him winning the Ballon d’Or in the future.

A translation from Football Espana quoted Garcia’s jibe as: “You next year for the Ballon d’Or, yes, the Ballon d’Or.” Ouch,
