The CBF also showed support for the 22-year-old player who had a doll with his shirt hanging from a bridge near the Real Madrid CT, simulating hanging. “May you always keep dancing, dribbling and, above all, with that smile on your face, Vini! We are with you”, concluded the CBF.
Before the CBF, Atlético de Madrid itself spoke about the act, which took place on the eve of the classic against Real Madrid, for the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, this Thursday, at the Santiago Bernabéu. Real and La Liga also spoke out.
