Van der Vaart was left unimpressed by Vinicius Junior on the night and said on Ziggo Sport: "Vinicius is horrible.
"He annoys me to no end when I see him. I find it incredibly sad because he's a fantastic player."
He added: "But as soon as he gets a little push, he dives, hoping to see a red card for the opponent, and then gets up as if nothing happened.
"That's the part I find sad about him."
