Dani Carvajal came in clutch to seal the late winner at Santiago Bernabeu, securing a 3-2 win over Almeria on Sunday, but it's Vinicius Junior who stole the spotlight for his shoulder goal that sparked a lot of controversy. The fans on social media are still buzzing, speculating whether or not it should have been ruled out for handball.
Following the game, the Brazilian took to his social media to comment on the episode.
"Golazo!!! This is how I always did it at the Copacabana beach"
Side note: the beach football culture in Brazil is all about creativity, so the players tend to develop unconventional techniques like using the shoulders to keep the ball airborne.
The Real Madrid winger seemingly trolled a certain fanbase with this remark. Whatever they think, it's a goal from the referee's viewpoint as it stood.
Vinicius now boasts a shoulder and a chest goal among his 10 this season. Waiting for the header next?
