Brazil Crushes India 4-0 as Vinicius Jr. Sparks Memes in Kolkata Friendly

Brazil dominated India 4-0 in their historic first friendly at Kolkata's Salt Lake Stadium, with goals from Estêvão Willian, Pedro, and a Samuel Lino brace in front of 51,000 fans. Vinicius Jr. struggled quietly before being replaced, leading to widespread online jokes questioning if it was the real Real Madrid star.

Despite the lopsided score, Indian players posed for photos with a smiling Vinicius, and Brazil's Bruno Guimarães praised the hosts' effort while noting the tour's value in testing squad depth.
