A chat between Liverpool star Fabinho and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was caught in camera in the tunnel after Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat to Real Madid on Tuesday.
The Brazilian was back on familiar territory in Madrid, playing against the club he represented back in 2013.
But never was he that good…
And after the game, the 20-year-old winger joined Fabinho in the tunnel for a private chat with Perez.
Alberto Toril, his former coach at Real Madrid Castilla, recently admitted that Fabinho never quite looked like a midfielder.
“He was very shy, but you could immediately see his potential as a player,” Toril told Goal.
Liverpool were deservedly beaten after a sloppy display, with Vinicius Junior scoring twice to secure a commanding lead heading into the second leg at Anfield.
“With us you played as a right-back,” Perez recalled
To which Fabinho allegedly responded: “Yes, but to play right-back now… What a player you have in Vinicius.”
Fabinho joined Real Madrid on loan from Rio Ave in 2012 but spent most of his time playing for the Castilla side, where he made over 30 appearances, before being handed his senior debut from the bench by Jose Mourinho in a 6-2 win over Malaga.
