Vinicius goes to the NBA

The Real Madrid players have wasted no time to make the most of the Christmas holidays. Carlo Ancelotti has given the squad a few days off after the victory against Athletic in San Mamés and several footballers are already in their holiday destinations.

This is the case of Vinicius Jr, who at dawn yesterday was present at the FTX Arena in Miami to witness the Miami Heat-Detroit Pistons of the NBA regular season in the front row. The Brazilian soccer player has always been a great basketball fan, especially the NBA, and he did not miss the opportunity to attend the game.

Vinicius was also featured as a guest on the video scoreboards and received an ovation from the local public. He was also presented with a Miami Heat jersey with his name and his usual number 20 on it.

Curiously, he is not the only footballer to be seen at the FTX Arena in Miami. Sergiño Dest, Barcelona winger, and Ilaix Moriba, currently at Leipzig, also attended the match between the Heat and the Pistons, which the local team won by 115-112.
