After the game, Brazilian soccer star Vinicius Jr. had the opportunity to meet and greet Giannis Antetokounmpo, the star player of the Milwaukee Bucks. Antetokounmpo generously presented Vinicius with a complete Bucks jersey and his signed shoes.

This encounter between Vinicius and Antetokounmpo is not their first, as they had previously met in Madrid back in 2022, where they exchanged jerseys. Vinicius, who is currently on a tour across the United States, made a stop in New York to watch the Milwaukee Bucks defeat the Brooklyn Nets with a score of 144-122.

Throughout his trip, the Real Madrid star has been enjoying NBA games in various cities, including Oklahoma City, Sacramento, Los Angeles, and now the East Coast. Along the way, Vinicius has been engaging in jersey exchanges with notable players like LeBron James and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

During the game, Vinicius had the privilege of sitting courtside and witnessing Antetokounmpo’s impressive performance, where he recorded 32 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, contributing to the Bucks’ season record of 23-8.

Following the game, Vinicius had the opportunity to connect with Antetokounmpo once again and received a signed game-worn jersey from the NBA star, along with his shoes as a memorable token.

Currently on their annual winter break, both Vinicius and Real Madrid are enjoying their time off. Real Madrid currently holds the top position in the La Liga standings, ahead of Girona based on goal difference. The team will resume action on January 3 with a league match against Mallorca at home.
