Kyle Walker said that Vinicius Junior tried to rainbow-flick him, which is why they hugged at the end of the first leg of the Champions League semifinal.
Walker is considered as one of the top right backs in the world, making the battle down the offensive left for Real Madrid one of the most crucial if Los Blancos are to defeat Manchester City in the semifinals.
Since the Brazilian attacker was on fire and had scored an incredible goal in the first leg, there was a lot of speculation about the matchup going into the second leg.
Despite the tie being just partially over, the two unexpectedly embraced after the game, both of them seemed delighted to see the other.
However, when questioned about the significance of their embrace, Walker admitted that it was really a covert warning to his rival before asserting that the smiles would vanish at the sound of Wednesday night's opening whistle.
'I went to hug him because he tried to rainbow flick me! I was like "please don't try that again and make me a meme",' Walker reveald.
'Boxers have a battle and shake hands after. You give the level of respect because they deserve it. Carrying a massive club like Real Madrid over the line in the Champions League, you show your respect.
'Tomorrow night, I'll give him the respect he deserves but before that is dog eat dog.'
