The Brazilian national team’s latest squad announcement brought a moment of pure unscripted joy that quickly overshadowed the usual football analysis. All thanks to the viral reaction of Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr.’s girlfriend and influencer, Virginia Fonseca.

Real Madrid forward Vinícius Jr. was recently included in the squad list announced by Brazil’s coach, Carlo Ancelotti, for the upcoming international friendlies against Senegal and Tunisia respectively.

While a call-up for a player of his calibre is expected, the moment his name was read out during the live press conference was captured on video as Fonseca was watching on her phone during a trip to London with friends.

The video, which was shared and quickly went viral on TikTok and other platforms, shows Fonseca surrounded by friends with eyes glued to her phone screen.

The instant Ancelotti names “Vinícius Jr.” for the squad, her entire demeanour transformed. She jumps up, pumps her fist in the air and lets out a clear delighted shout of support.

Her immediate and enthusiastic reaction was captured as she shouted:

“Let’s go, Vini!”

This public display of support comes at a significant time, as Vinícius Jr. recently made headlines for an on-field controversy involving a frustrated reaction to being substituted in an El Clásico match.

Her genuine excitement has been widely viewed by fans as a solid sign of her emotional stability and unconditional support for the footballer who continues to be one of the most talked-about players for both club and country.
