Vinicius Jr was caught on camera adding insult to injury toward the end of Real Madrid's 4-1 comeback win on aggregate in their Copa Del Rey clash with Barcelona on Wednesday, having trailed 1-0 from the first leg.
The Brazilian played a key role in Los Blancos' stunning 4-0 win on the night, scoring one and assisting another, as well as winning the penalty that gave Karim Benzema his second of the night.
He also showcased his fast feet with a brilliant piece of skill when up against Barca defender Ronald Araujo after the break, another who he was caught in a confrontation with later in the game.
Sparks were also flying between the 22-year-old and Barca forward Torres in the latter stages of a bitterly disappointing night for the hosts, who had their ambitions of a domestic treble taken away by their arch-nemesis.
After being shoved by Araujo his Real team-mates attempted to calm him down to avoid a yellow card, with Torres approaching the Brazilian and pointing in his face while offering some words in the 85th minute.
Vinicius evidently took umbrage with what the Spaniard had to say, prompting his reaction, with Mundo Deportivo confirming his response: 'Shut up, you're terrible!'
The forward was already on a yellow before the altercation, and was clearly incensed by the treatment he was subjected to by some Barca stars.
The rest of his side were keen to calm him down - with even goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois coming out of his box to offer his advice - in order to prevent their star from talking his way into a red card.
He was involved in a clash with the home side's starlet Gavi in the first half which saw both of their names taken
Realising the danger, Carlo Ancelotti quickly decided to take the Brazilian off the pitch, ensuring that he would be eligible for the final against Osasuna in May.
It was a fiery contest at the Spotify Camp Nou, with referee Juan Martinez Munuera showing 11 yellow cards to players, with Blaugrana boss Xavi also cautioned.
Ballon d'Or winner Benzema scored his second hat-trick in successive games, becoming the first Real star to net three times at the Camp Nou since Hungarian great Ferenc Puskas in 1963.
After the game Uruguayan defender Araujo admitted that his opponent successfully got under his skin, having reportedly made comments 'throughout the match'.
'Vinicius needs to focus on playing football,' he said.
'He is a great player, but my head got a little hot tonight because he kept telling our players this and that throughout the match.

I will keep saying it that, the whole Barcelona including their boards, fans, players and their coaching staff, Vini is their main problem not even Realmadrid as a team but Vini most especially because they simply just don't have a player with such qualities in their whole entire squad. what a shame to Barcelona. Haters

yes it's true Vinicius complain it's only because some opponents go with the intention of only kicking him to make him afraid but not to win the ball. example, Araujo first foul in the game was on Vini, he kick Vini right from the back even though he Araujo knew he couldn't get the ball. And Barca when on to commit 21 fouls & 7 yellow cards imagining that and Vinicius was the victim of most of it.
