Vinicius' shot that ended up in the training ground parking

At Real Madrid's training centre, under the evening light, Vinicius received a pass on the edge of the box. His shot rose over the goal and, unexpectedly, crossed the grass to land in the adjacent parking lot.

The ball, struck with force, went over the goal and flew out to the car park located next to the training field. Witnesses claim to have heard a shout, presumably from the person who took the impact. The video of the moment spread quickly on social media, becoming a viral clip.

Florentino Pérez, the club's president, said he was unaware of the incident until the press reported it. “I didn’t know about the story until later, through the press,” he said, showing his surprise at the fallout.

Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid's manager, acknowledged that the Brazilian is not at his best, just like José Mourinho, who also pointed out the lack of consistency in his shots. Both agreed that the player needs to work on his accuracy in front of the goal.

Brazil's national team manager decided that Vinicius should train individually to improve his shooting on target. During one of those drills the incident occurred that now dominates the headlines.

The episode, which came after the match against Australia, has highlighted the pressure young talents face at big clubs. While the player seeks to regain his form, the virality of the moment continues to fuel the global conversation.
