Real Madrid frustrated with Mallorca defender as Vini Jr rivalry  ignites Super Cup clash
Real Madrid  comfortably beat Mallorca  3-0, but  an opposing player managed to  cause them problems in the 90  minutes.

Mallorca defender Pablo Maffeo was the  target of repeated incidents between the  two teams throughout the  match and  the situation escalated at the  final whistle as the teams  clashed in a  brawl that required  several peacekeepers to calm  the spirits.
Maffeo tried to  exclude Vinicius Jr. with an embarrassing  loss early in the  game as the Mallorca defender reacted to a  light blow to the chest by  collapsing to the ground in  apparent agony.
It all started there, when Maffeo  provoked five fouls  from Real Madrid players  during the match, while committing one  himself.

It was clear  that the  27-year-old, a former  Manchester City youth  product, was the  target of Real  Madrid's wrath at the  final whistle as players and staff from both sides clashed. At one point,  when most of the  players had  calmed down, a Real Madrid staff  member could be seen  running after Maffeo as he walked away from the  brawl.
A video emerged showing Maffeo following Vinicius  to the  final whistle, blowing him  kisses as Vinicius  walked away repeatedly saying "vas a casa" or, in  French, "tu vai à casa" over his shoulder.
After the match,  Aurélien Tchouameni spoke  of Real Madrid's repeated  disappointment with Maffeo's  actions.
"Every game we have a problem with him," Tchouameni said. "A problem between Vinicius and Maffeo? We know  that, but  it doesn't matter. We don't want to talk about this guy because that's what he  wants."
As Tchouameni  points out, this isn't the first time Maffeo has  tried to  anger Vinicius Jr. In fact, the Mallorca defender said during a podcast appearance just a day before the  Super Cup match that he would  "take Vinicius out in 10 seconds" if they  had a boxing match, which provided  the basis for today's  ignition.
Last August, Maffeo stepped on Vini's  foot in their first La Liga meeting of the season,  earning the Mallorca  man a yellow card that some argued should have resulted in a  red card. Meanwhile, in February 2023, Maffeo told the media that he thought Vinicius Jr. "cries a lot" during games, a sentiment he  echoed during their  encounter in early 2024 by making a  tearful gesture  to Vinicius as the Brazilian looked for a  failed. Carlo Ancelotti, who  was seen speaking  to Maffeo  after the  match, blamed Mallorca for the  incident.
"It wasn't necessary because the game was over," he said of the  return to normality. "They did something that wasn't necessary,  such a  fight." They were a bit angry about what happened in the  match, I tried to calm them down a bit with Maffeo so  that nothing  bad would happen.
