Imagina que Vinicius se rompe el cruzado y es abucheado por el Metropolitano entero mientras le retiran en camilla.
Tendríamos programas nocturnos, tertulias televisivas, diarios, sanedrines y tiemposdejuegos dedicados en masa a condenarlo.

Pero es Reinildo y es el Bernabéu. pic.twitter.com/573SsNTQsx
