'I'd knock him out in 10 seconds!' - Vinicius Junior boxing match welcomed by Pablo Maffeo as Mallorca defender reignites rivalry with Real Madrid star ahead of Spanish Super Cup tie

LaLiga

Real Madrid

Las Palmas

Villarreal

Mallorca

<p>Maffeo and Vinicius Jr first clashed when the former was sent off for a foul on the Brazilian in the 2021-22 La Liga season. There has been a bit of needle between the two since then, although the Mallorca right-back said the pair have subsequently buried the hatchet. Ahead of their Supercopa de Espana semi-final clash on Thursday, Maffeo may have risked reigniting the feud after discussing a hypothetical boxing match with the Madrid ace.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>He said on the <em>Indomitos</em> podcast: "It would be in a world apart, in a fictional life, but I think it could be the most watched fight in history. I think I would win, I have no doubt, I would knock him out in 10 seconds."</p><p>Incidentally, Maffeo said back in August: "I went to him [Vinicius] and said: 'Let’s drop the nonsense. What happened happened last year, it makes no sense to carry on like this.' He told me 'yes, yes, no problem,' and we were basically getting on fine then. Ultimately it’s not a good image."</p>

WHAT PABLO MAFFEO SAID

<p>Mallorca take on Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu as they bid to win their second ever Supercopa de Espana, while Los Blancos are hoping to tie Barcelona's record 14 triumphs. In this clash, Maffeo and Vinicius Jr may square off again on the pitch and fireworks could follow.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Before that encounter, Vinicius Jr's Madrid are away to fourth tier Spanish side Dep Minera in the Copa Del Rey round of 32 on Monday.</p>
