Chukwueze leads celebrations as Villarreal players mock Real Madrid viral video

Villarreal took some time out of their post-match celebrations to make fun of Real Madrid’s popular El Clasico dressing room video after beating Los Blancos 3-2 in a dramatic LaLiga encounter. 

Villarreal won at the Santiago Bernabeu thanks to a brace from Super Eagles forward Samuel Chukwueze, who scored two sensational goals, including the 80th-minute winner that silenced the reigning champions’ stadium. 

Following the victory, Villarreal celebrated wildly in the dressing room and had a moment of fun with their own rendition of Real Madrid’s popular “tomorrow is a day off” celebration, which they did after beating Barcelona 4-0 in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal. 

In the video, Villarreal coach Quique Setien joined the team’s celebrations and shouted “mañana libre” announcing that the team would get the next day off for their famous win over the reigning champions, leading to even more frenzied celebrations from the Villarreal players. 

The phrase was the same one used by Real Madrid’s Carlo Ancelotti when Real Madrid beat Barcelona last Tuesday and would have come as further indignation to Los Blancos. 

Villarreal’s win over Real Madrid took them to fifth place in the league and left them only four points off Real Sociedad in the final UEFA Champions League qualification spot for next season. 

Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde has been accused of attacking Villarreal youngster Alex Baena in the parking lot of the Santiago Bernabeu after Los Blancos’ 3-2 LaLiga loss. 

Valverde is alleged to have waited for Baena in the parking lot of the stadium after the game and attacked the Spain U21 international with a punch after an altercation during the match that left the Real Madrid midfielder incensed.
