The content of the tifo is not yet public knowledge, but there are two clear avenues the fans could choose to go down.

During the first leg against Man City at the Etihad, fans of the Premier League side had a tifo that showed Rodri kissing the Ballon d'Or trophy with the words 'stop crying your heart out,' referencing the fact that Real Madrid boycotted the Ballon d'Or ceremony as they felt Vinicius Jr. should have won it.

A tifo in defense of Vini Jr. is possible, but given the current drama surrounding referees and Real Madrid, the fans could use this opportunity to claim further that officials are disadvantaging them.
