The Spanish Super Cup semifinal match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid witnessed tense moments on the pitch after Atletico Madrid's coach Diego Simeone got into a verbal altercation with Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior during the latter's substitution.

Reports stated that Simeone pointed to his ear while Vinicius was being substituted and said, "Listen to the boos," a behavior that angered the Brazilian star, before Real Madrid players and coaching staff intervened to contain the situation.

Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso also appeared agitated by Simeone's actions towards his Brazilian star, in a moment that was well received by the Royal Club fans, as the team showed clear support for Vinicius and did not leave him to face the situation alone.

It is worth noting that this was not the first time the match saw tension between the two sides, as a verbal dispute had previously occurred between Simeone and Vinicius during the first half.
