De Paul humbles Vinicius with one phrase that would make Leo Messi proud

Atletico Madrid secured a 4-2 victory over Real Madrid, booting them out of the Copa del Rey round of 16 and handing Barcelona a smoother path in the competition.

In one of the heated moments during the game, Vinicius Junior engaged in a banter with Atleti's Rodrigo De Paul and started unabashedly bragging about the Madrid crest.

"I play for Real Madrid," Vinicius said

But the Argentine had something to humble the winger real quick.

"Oh, yeah? And I am a World Champion."

We just know Leo Messi would love that response.
