Real Madrid warns Vinicius
Vinicius Junior's behavior during El Clásico did not go unnoticed within Real Madrid, after the Brazilian player showed his clear annoyance when he was substituted in the 72nd minute of the match, which ended with a 2-1 victory over Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu. According to the Spanish newspaper Marca, Real Madrid's management did not hide their displeasure with Vinicius' reaction, as he protested blatantly against his coach Xabi Alonso's decision, both on the pitch and while sitting on the bench. The newspaper explained that the club understands the player's anger due to his desire to continue and contribute, but his behavior was not appropriate for a third captain on the team, noting that he should show more calm and responsibility. For his part, Xabi Alonso tried to ease the situation during the post-match press conference, saying, "Now is the time to enjoy the victory, and we'll talk about it when the time comes." The club's management believes the incident represents an "important lesson" for both the player and the dressing room, emphasizing that maintaining discipline is the best way to continue achieving victories, especially after the team's strong performance against Barcelona.
