Footage has emerged of Vinicius Jr winding up a Bayern Munich player during Real Madrid's sensational Champions League semi-final comeback victory.
Bayern led 1-0 and 3-2 on aggregate going into the 88th minute after Alphonso Davies' superb individual goal.
But substitute Joselu, formerly of Stoke City and Newcastle, came up clutch with a late brace to send Real into the final.

He capitalised on a surprise error from Manuel Neuer to level matters before stabbing home from Antonio Rudiger's cross in stoppage time.
The goal was initially disallowed for offside before a VAR call reversed the decision and sent the Santiago Bernabeu into raptures.
The crazy finale featured 15 minutes of stoppage time and a controversial call which saw the referee Szymon Marciniak blow his whistle for offside before Matthijs de Ligt fired the ball into the net.

Replays showed Noussair Mazraoui was onside in the build-up but VAR could not intervene because the whistle had been blown.
Real ran down the clock and Vinicius Jr more than played his part.
The Brazilian had toyed with Joshua Kimmich all game, giving him a torrid time with his twisting and turning down the left flank.

And he also irritated the Germany international with his time-wasting late on.
Kimmich fetched the ball to give to Vinicius but ended up dropping it right in front of him.
The former Flamengo man was unmoved and in no rush, leading to Kimmich picking it up again.
He proceeded to plant the ball straight to Vinicius' chest and he cheekily dropped it to kill a few more precious seconds before Luka Modric trotted over to take the throw-in.
Real will now face Borussia Dortmund in the final on June 1 at Wembley Stadium, where they hope to lift the European Cup for the 15th time in their history.
