In La Liga Round 35, Barcelona staged a 4–3 comeback win over Real Madrid at home, extending their lead in the league to 7 points. During the match, a heated exchange occurred between Vinícius Jr. and Iñigo Martínez.
According to Marca, citing footage from the Movistar Plus program Matchday, Iñigo accused Vinícius of diving at one point during the game:
“You dived. Yes, it was you — you faked it.”
Vinícius fired back with a cutting remark:
“Weren’t you after the Champions League? And what happened? You didn’t win it in the end.”
The fiery exchange added more spice to an already dramatic Clásico.
