Brazil superstar Vinicius Jr. faced the biggest threat in front of him during the pre-match press conference ahead of his team's FIFA World Cup Quarterfinal clash against Croatia on Friday, December 10 in Qatar. The young winger, while answering questions from the media, was interrupted by a... cat!
This cat jumped onto the table while Vini was answering one of the journalists' queries and seemed very comfortable with his place on the media desk. However, the feline friend was in for a rude shock after Brazil's media manager stroked the neck of the cat and then grabbed it and tossed it to the floor.

While the Real Madrid attacker saw the joke in the incident, the media guy was less impressed, and impressive, as the video shows. He also received a disapproving side glance from Vinicius, and after a few gasps from the media personnel attending the press conference continued as it was.
Meanwhile, Vinicius expected to keep his position in the Brazilian line-up after impressing for the Selecao in the World Cup till now. He also opened his account in the tournament with a sublime finish during their Round of 16 game against South Korea. It was also Vinicius’ second goal for Brazil in 19 appearances in all competitions.
The 22-year-old also has been in great form in La Liga, with 30 goals and 25 assists during the 2021-22 season. However, his performance in the final of the Champions League, where he scored for Real Madrid against Liverpool, is the icing on the cake this is his young career. However, winning the prestigious World Cup at such a young age will cap a brilliant career for Vinicius.
