Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr. was captured giving his teammate Camavinga a middle finger during a training session in preparation for their Champions League game.

The Brazilian forward who has been one of the exceptional players for Real Madrid this season with 17 goals contributions played a crucial role having registered his name on the score sheet in the first leg Champions League tie against Manchester City.

During their training session ahead of their second leg clash against Man City, Vinicius was seen swearing at his teammate Camavinga in a playful manner.

Real Madrid players are already in preparation for their Champions League second-leg clash with Manchester City at the Etihad next Wednesday.

Vinicius Jr. opened the scoring for Real Madrid in the first leg with a stunning strike but his goal was not enough to secure the win for his team as Kelvin De Bruyne scored the equaliser for City.

Ahead of preparation for the second leg encounter with Man City, Vinicius was seen in a video playing with Camavinga and using a middle finger gesture towards him.

Many eyes will be on the 22-year-old in the second leg as Real Madrid looks to win their 14th Champions League trophy. 

Ancelotti to rest key players this weekend

As his squad gets ready for their crucial Champions League semifinal match against Manchester City, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti announced on Friday that he would rest some key players for Saturday's match against Getafe.

Speaking in a press conference, Ancelotti said, "We still have some doubts with players who picked up knocks Tuesday and have not yet recovered.

"(Ferland) Mendy and (Dany) Ceballos will return, they can play tomorrow. I won't be taking risks as we have fresh players but it will be a very demanding match against an opponent that's fighting against relegation."

Real Madrid will face relegation-threatened Getafe at the Bernabeu on Saturday before travelling for a crunch tie against Man City at the Etihad on Wednesday.
