Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr has sent a short message to Chelsea’s Reece James after the latter found himself on the wrong end of a crushing Champions League defeat. The Blues thought they had managed to stage a stunning turnaround as they raced into a 3-0 lead at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Strikes from Mason Mount, Antonio Rudiger and Timo Werner looked to have secured the Blues’ place in the last four despite their reverse at Stamford Bridge a week ago. A reply from Brazilian forward Rodrygo hauled Los Blancos level on aggregate before yet another Karim Benzema strike condemned the reigning European champions to an early elimination.
Having played the full 120 minutes in Madrid, Reece James gave his verdict on his side’s performance with a short message posted on Twitter.
