The touchline audio from the Madrid derby has now been released.

A big flashpoint from Real Madrid's 3-2 win against Atletico Madrid was the exchange between  Vinicius Jr and Atleti coach Diego Simeone as the matchwinner was substituted late on.

Vinicius was substituted in the 87th minute after scoring twice and headed towards the Atlético bench to carry out his 'revenge'.

Thus, and on four separate occasions, the Brazilian winger repeated this phrase: "They're going to sell me? They're going to sell me...?" 

Vini was directing his tirade at Simeone, who responded gesticulating.

The Real star was responding after Simeone previously had said after the first derby of the season: "Florentino is going to sell him".

Simeone was taunting Vini amid the Brazilian's future being discussed as controversy swirled around him earlier in the campaign. The Argentine would later apologise for suggesting Real president Florentino Perez was planning to sell Vini.
