A world-famous influencer has sparked rumours of a romance with a top footballer - all because of rug

This is the moment a famous influencer tells her fans she had just woken up from a nap while recording a video inside what appeared to be footballer Vinicius Junior's closet.

The footage was filmed in Madrid, Spain, where Virginia Fonseca returned on 17th September, just two weeks after her previous trip.

She says she had been asleep for an hour before her alarm startled her.

In the clip, she explains to her 52 million Instagram followers she is preparing to go out for the night.

But keen-eyed fans were quick to notice that a patterned rug visible in the background matches one seen in earlier images from the Real Madrid star's home.

Fonseca had already shared video of a workout at the same gym used by the player.
