Last night’s encounter between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid had fans on the edge of their seats. In a surprising turn of events, Xavi and the Blaugrana were battered 4-1 by Carlo Ancelotti’s men, as they saw their arch-rivals lift the Supercopa de Espana. But all the spotlight is on the man of the hour, Vinicius Jr., who has captured the imagination of many. Be it Carlos Alcaraz or Luka Doncic, here are all the stars who gave a pat on the back to the Brazilian superstar and celebrated Real Madrid’s win. 

A first-half hattrick against Madrid’s arch-rivals had Vinicius Jr. basking in glory. Following the match, the winger’s social media was filled with congratulatory notes. He posted yesterday’s glimpses on Instagram with a caption saying, “A day for history!! ¡HALAMADRID!” Aside from his teammates, many revered faces toasted the player, with No. 7. Tennis sensation Carlos Alcaraz writing, “Do what you want,” while ardent Madrista and Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic tweeted, “Hat trick in 40 min. [fire emojis] @vinijr.” 

Former NFL superstar JJ Watt also commented with three soccer balls and mind-exploding emojis. Speaking of A-listers from Vinicius’ country, Brazilian artist Papatinho wrote, “Congratulations my friend, you are sinister!” while singer Gabily wrote, “Very much deserved.” Renowned actress Paloma Bernardi and popstar CHOICE, a.k.a.

Furthermore, Haitian singer Roberto Martino also played the emoji game, with renowned American bodybuilder Ulissesworld commenting, “Awesome [fire and bicep-flex emoji]”

There must be countless DMs that Vini Jr. must have received. Either way, it’s his moment and the winger will likely enjoy the limelight. Aside from his hattrick, the player may have spoiled the night for the legendary Barcelona quartet. But most surprisingly, he forced Xavi and his rivals to eat the humble pie.
