Real Madrid ace Vinicius Junior was furious being denied a penalty during Sunday's win at Alaves.

Leading 2-1, the Brazilian evaded two defenders on his way to the penalty area and, once inside, went down after feeling contact from Tenaglia. The Alavés defender appeared to impede the Real winger's run, and it looked like a clear penalty.

However, ref Victor García Verdura didn't call anything. He also didn't receive an alert from VAR, where Pablo González Fuertes was present, so the play went unpunished.

Upon being substituted, Vinicius greeted Xabi, who backed him up with "it was a clear penalty".

The Brazilian responded: "He didn't call it because it was me, a clear penalty."

This exchange was captured by Movistar's cameras.
