With the international break underway, Real Madrid are obliged to take a pause from winning, and therefore fans of the club do not have much to look forward to in terms of on-field action for the time being.

Yet amidst this pause, players of Los Blancos continue to bring moments of joy and pride as they represent their respective national teams.

Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo, and Endrick all featured in last night’s epic showdown between England and Brazil, with Endrick’s winner stealing all the headlines.

After the game concluded, the Real Madrid players were seen embracing each other and congratulating Endrick.

But another interesting moment was caught on camera between Bellingham and Vinicius post-game, as relayed by England Twitter.

Vinicius gifted his shirt to Declan Rice

Indeed, Vinicius, with a gesture of sportsmanship, handed his shirt to Bellingham to gift it to Arsenal and England midfielder Declan Rice.

Bellingham asked the Brazilian forward, “Who’s this shirt for?” to which Vinicius replied, “Rice, Rice.”

Rice, who moved from West Ham United to Arsenal last summer in a record €122 million move, is considered one of the best holding midfielders around.

And the fact that Vinicius wanted to give him his shirt speaks volumes about his talents.

However, Rice is known to have an incredible collection of footballers’ jerseys, underscoring Vinicius’s desire to be included among his esteemed peers.

Rice is a fan of Tchouameni

The 25-year-old English midfielder has previously lauded Tchouameni’s talents, claiming:

“Tchouameni at Real Madrid, he’s a youngster as well, very aggressive, gets on the ball, goes forward with it, he’s very good.”

While Arsenal are unlikely to allow Rice to leave in the foreseeable future, the possibility of him one day donning the Royal White jersey cannot be ruled out considering his talents and familiarity with the Madrid players.
