Vinicius Jr., who will arrive at Real Madrid eventually, scored an incredible goal for Flamengo in a 3-1 win against Botafogo Saturday. Vinicius then celebrated by pretending to cry.
It turns out there is some history behind that celebration.
In 2008, some Botafogo players began crying in a press conference held to protest refereeing decisions. They have been mocked for that ever since.
Because of the celebration, Botafogo have denied Flamengo the use of their stadium for the Guanabara Cup final against Boavista.
So, on one hand, Botafogo have maybe given Flamengo something to cry about themselves. On the other hand, it sure looks like Botafogo are still crying.
