Vinícius Júnior is calling for La Liga president Javier Tebas to retract accusations that he engaged in illegal streaming.
The controversy stemmed from a social media post where the Real Madrid star shared his viewing of the Champions League clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid. Tebas, speaking at an anti-piracy conference in Buenos Aires, suggested that Vinícius might have accessed the match through a VPN or satellite, claiming that in Spain, Champions League broadcasts are exclusive to Movistar.
Vinícius’ team swiftly denied the allegations, asserting that the player used an international plan from a Brazilian provider that bypasses regional restrictions, providing proof of the legitimate access.
The 23-year-old Brazilian forward has now demanded that Tebas issue a formal apology and retract his statement. As of now, La Liga has yet to release any comment on the matter, leaving the situation hanging in the air. The incident has sparked a debate over privacy, piracy, and the responsibilities of football’s governing figures.
