What happened between Vinicius and Simeone during Copa del Rey clash - shown in 7 pics

Vinicius Junior and Diego Simeone engaged in a heated exchange after the final whistle in the Copa del Rey round of 16. It got to the point where coaching staff members had to separate the two.

The Madrid derby always sparks a lot of tension, of course, but how did things get to this particular point?

It all started in the 82nd minute when Joselu scored an equalizer, levelling the score at 2-2.

Still riding high from El Clasico hat-trick and carried away by the moment, the Brazilian pointed the number seven with his fingers toward the Atletico bench.

The Atleti boss clearly didn't like the gesture. "Seven what? Go f**k yourself," he said.

"Cry more," the Real Madrid winger responded.

But it wasn't Los Blancos' luckiest night, and Atletico went on to score another two goals, advancing to the Spanish Cup next round.

As the teams were heading to the dressing rooms after the final whistle, the two had another fight, with Simeone calling Vini an actor.

If there's one area Vinicius could improve, it's avoiding unnecessary confrontations and keeping his cool, won't you agree?
