Vinicius Junior: You kiss Real Madrid's badge, you don't step on it

Vinicius Junior is proving himself one of the most popular players at Real Madrid in recent years.

Part of the reason is down to the moments like we saw during Los Blancos' 4-1 victory against Valencia, in which he scored two goals but also made a point of not stepping on Real Madrid's badge as he was forced to run onto the sideline.

Rather than walk on the badge, Vinicius made a point of doing a big jump to avoid stepping on Real Madrid's badge.

"You kiss Madrid's badge, you don't step on it," says Vinicius.

It was an instinctive gesture, something he did unconsciously, but it shows his love and respect for the club. He does the same when he plays for Brazil, as he makes an effort to not step on the Selecao's crest.
