The wholesome moment between Kyle Walker and Vinicius Jr after Real Madrid vs Manchester City Clash
After Manchester City drew 1-1 with the reigning Champions League winners in the first leg of their semi-final, there was a show of respect between Vini Jr and Kyle Walker, his opponent for the night. The Los Blancos attacker has feasted against English right-backs in the past two rounds of the tournament, with Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold and Chelsea’s Reece James both failing to stop him.
But one man showed an ability to deal with the attacker’ that night, that man was none other than Walker. Defensively superb, Walker snuffed out pretty much any danger that came his way. At one point Vinicius tried to get past him with a rainbow flick, but Walker held his ground and was not fooled by the Brazilian’s trickery.
On the night, nobody in a City shirt won more duels, made more tackles, or made more clearances than Walker. And to highlight his superiority against Vinicius and Madrid’s other attackers, nobody managed to dribble past him either.
