It responded to the provocation properly.

Real Madrid beat Manchester City 3-2 in the first round of the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16 playoff (PO) at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 12th (Korea time).

Real Madrid gave away the opening goal to Manchester City's Erling Holan in the 19th minute. Jack Grealish got the pass from the left and connected it to Yoshko Gvardiol who was penetrating into the box. Here, Gvardiol gave a superb pass to Holan who was next to him with his chest. Holan finished it off with a left footed shot and scored the first goal.

Later, Kylian Mbappe's equalizer in the second half was balanced. Real Madrid got a free kick in a good position, and Federico Valverde's free kick hit Manchester City's defensive wall. Dani Sevayos then caught the ball that protruded from the defensive wall and handed the roving pass to Mbappe, who penetrated quickly. Mbappe connected it with an exquisite shin shot, and the ball was sucked into the corner beyond Ederson's reach.

But again, Manchester City took the lead. In the 33rd minute of the second half, Manchester City won the penalty. Phil Foden dribbled near the box, which was blocked by Sevayos. Foden immediately fell, and the referee declared a penalty for Manchester City with a foul from Sevayos. The kicker was Holan, and he tricked Thibaut Courtois into completing the extra goal.

However, in the 41st minute of the second half, Ederson's kick miss came out, and Vinicius' diagonal shot from inside the box. Ederson managed to block it, but Brahim Díaz remained focused and kicked a second ball. The two teams were tied again.

And just before the end of the match, Vinicius attempted a lobbing shot over Ederson's height after stealing Manchester City's back pass. The shot was directed at Jude Bellingham, who was running over Ederson, who ended the match by scoring an empty goal.

One of the players who received a lot of attention for the match was Vinicius Junior. Vinicius was very active, taking charge of Real Madrid's left side and recording two assists.

Behind this strong performance was the provocation of Manchester City fans. Manchester City fans reportedly provoked Vinicius throughout the game, saying, "Where is your Ballon d'Or?" Vinicius said after the game, "The provocation of Manchester City fans was the driving force that made me strong."

The cause of Manchester City fans' provocation can be found at the Ballon d'Or Awards, held in October last year. Vinicius then competed with Rodri, the Manchester City midfielder, for the Ballon d'Or, the most prestigious award in football. Since then, the Ballon d'Or has been occupied by Rodri, and Vinicius has consistently expressed dissatisfaction with the decision. Rodri's award for Ballon d'Or has been constantly debated not only among the parties concerned but also among football experts and colleagues.

However, they were unable to overturn the award, and Manchester City fans mocked Vinicius for having Rodri, the winner of the Ballon d'Or. However, after a strong performance, Vinicius pointed the number 15 on the sleeve of his jersey to the broadcast camera when Bellingham scored the winning goal. 온라인바카라

This number 15 represents the number of UCL wins for Real Madrid. Real Madrid, which has shown steady strength in the UCL, is the most-winning team in the history of the tournament with 15 wins. In contrast, Manchester City won the UCL once, in the 2022-23 season. That is the number of wins between the two teams with huge differences. Vinicius responded to the provocation of Manchester City fans by taking advantage of this gap.
