He tagged the Madrid player as well and obviously enjoyed the win. The Dallas Mavericks are currently 7th in the Western Conference and will now take on the New Orleans Pelicans. Struggling to emerge as title contenders this season, Doncic and co. might do well to take inspiration from Read Madrid and their players, who have a habit of delivering when it matters the most.

The latest evidence of it impressed the Slovenian himself, who did not leave the opportunity to congratulate the Brazilian winger.

Real Madrid produce a dominating El Clasico win

The perennial battle for bragging rights that El Clasicos usually represent was evident in the latest meeting between the two sides as well. Vinicius Jr. returned with a first-half hattrick which saw his team 3-1 up at halftime.

The position meant that the second-half Rodrygo strike was always going to be enough to get them the win. The Brazilian displayed the kind of ruthlessness that even Luka Doncic is famous for and had already scored twice in the first ten minutes.

Lewandowski pulled one back rather brilliantly, which was followed by a Vinicius Jr. penalty. Doncic’s compliment was proof that the game tends to recognize game, as the Brazilian even produced a Cristiano Ronaldo ‘Siu’ celebration during one of the goals.
