Real Madrid currently sit in second spot in the La Liga table but are yet to play their fixture this week. Los Blancos are set to take on Atletico Madrid next in La Liga on September 18. They have 15 points from their first five games of the season.

The Madrid derby is one of the most vital and fiery clashes in La Liga. Atletico midfielder Koke also spoke against Vinicius' celebration, warning the winger that it may cause 'trouble'.

Carlo Ancelotti will once again depend massively on Vinicius for his team's attacking performance. The Brazilian has been in sublime form so far this season.

In eight games for his club, the winger has scored five goals and provided three assists.
