Real Madrid's hat-trick ace Vinicius Jr admits clashing with Barcelona players during Sunday's Spanish Cup final victory.

Vini Jr hit a treble in the 4-1 win in Riyadh.

He was later named man-of-the-match and said: "I am very happy for the title, the goals and how we have played. I have thanked my physios from home, those from Madrid, my colleagues and the technical staff, who have given me the confidence to get to my best version.

"The things that happen inside the field stay there. Ancelotti always there to help me. I learn in every match. I want to be a better person, but I also want to give everything by the team.

“I am very sad because everyone wants to fight me, since they know that they will be in the press. I try to be focused on the game to get it right. I am not a saint. Sometimes I talk too much or do haggling that I shouldn't do, but I'm here to get better. Ancelotti and my colleagues are teaching me."

On Real signing a new striker, Vini added: "Hiring is for the President, I cannot say that. The players we have here are all very happy. Everyone is playing more minutes. We have 25 players prepared to do their best for the team and this club. We are going to celebrate now, but we are back in Madrid and we have our heads in the Copa del Rey. If we lose in the Cup today is not worth much."
