Vinicius Jr gets completely embarrassed by player Arsenal released for free

Vinicius Jr caused more excitement for Arsenal fans than any other player during the summer transfer window.

It was clear to everyone that the Gunners had to sign a superstar attacker to take their squad to a whole new level, and the Brazilian was a key target.

However, Vinicius decided to stay at Real Madrid in the end, leaving Arsenal without another elite left winger target to turn to.

Now, Arsenal fans have found some joy in seeing Vinicius struggle against a player who was once released by the North Londoners.

Arsenal hero Hector Bellerin dominated Vinicius Jr during Real Betis vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid suffered a shock defeat to Real Betis in La Liga on Friday night.

Jose Mourinho had a great start on his return to the Galacticos, but the loss last night was his first of the season.

To be fair, Real Madrid had plenty of chances to get something out of the game, but it was one of those nights for many of their players.

Vinicius Jr, in particular, had a shocking game.

The Brazil international was up against Hector Bellerin, and to many people’s surprise, the former Arsenal defender completely outplayed the Real Madrid superstar.

Bellerin made 11 defensive contributions. He won six tackles, registered two interceptions, made two clearances, five ball recoveries and won eight duels.

Vinicius, like all of his teammates, had no goals or assists in the game, and ended the fixture losing the ball a staggering 23 times.

That has led to some interesting reactions from Arsenal supporters.

Arsenal fans were unsurprisingly upset when Vinicius decided to stay at Real Madrid instead of joining the Gunners in the summer.

That even led to many Gooners sending a message to Vinicius about facing Arsenal in the Champions League league phase in the coming months.

Now, some supporters have had their say on his dismal performance against Bellerin and Betis.

One tweeted: “Arsenal dodged a bullet here.”

Another wrote: “Once a Gunner, always a Gunner. Hector is a legend.”

“Heccy B is like: ‘This is what you get for not joining the Arsenal’,” said another.
