Real Madrid president Florentino will NOT go to Barcelona after Vini Jr insult

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez will NOT travel to Barcelona for the El Clasico this weekend.

Florentino has made the decision after the critical social media post from Barca which was aimed at Vinicius Jr.

Barca board member Mikel Camps criticised Vini on social media for his showboating in Real's Champions League win at Braga.

Minutes later, after seeing the impact the post was having, the Barça manager deleted it. But the damage has been done.

Ok Diario says Florentino has decided not to attend the game in protest. It also isn't the first time Camps has criticised Florentino on social media.

Eduardo Fernández de Blas, a second vice president of Real Madrid, will be the main representative of the club at the El Clasico.
