The Manchester City fans have a clear message for Vinícius Júnior and Real Madrid: "Stop crying." This Tuesday, the English club’s supporters will display a banner in support of Rodrigo Hernández, who recently won the Ballon d'Or, surpassing the Brazilian. The chosen phrase for the banner is "Stop Crying Your Heart Out," the title of a song by Oasis, which can be interpreted as a direct taunt.

The group "We Are 1984", the largest City supporters' association, confirmed that the banner will be displayed five minutes before kickoff and will remain visible until the Champions League anthem ends. "We want the whole world to see it," they stated in a press release, making it clear that their intention is to provoke the Spanish club and its fans.

The banner will feature an image of Rodri kissing the Ballon d'Or, sending a strong message following Real Madrid’s controversial reaction to the award. It is worth noting that the Spanish club canceled its trip to Paris at the last minute upon learning that the trophy winner would not be Vinícius or any other Madrid player.

This move has been interpreted by Manchester City fans as a sign of frustration from Real Madrid, something they did not hesitate to exploit with this provocation. The rivalry between both clubs has intensified in recent years, with crucial Champions League matchups and heated exchanges between players and coaches.

With this message, City fans aim to reinforce their dominance after eliminating Real Madrid in the last two editions of the tournament. Now, with Rodri recognized as the world’s best player by the Ballon d'Or, the "Citizens" supporters are seizing the moment to remind Madridistas who the true kings of Europe are.
