The next El Clásico, held as part of the tenth round of the Spanish championship, was memorable not only for the conflicts on the field but also for the internal atmosphere. In the match at the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid secured a 2-1 victory, securing an important victory over Barcelona. However, this success did not seem to alleviate the tense situation within the team.
In the final minutes of the match, a scandal erupted around the Brazilian star Vinicius Junior. He couldn't hide his emotions when he was substituted in the 72nd minute: head coach Xabi headed straight inside without shaking Alonso's hand. Later, towards the end of the game, he also got into an argument with Barcelona player Lamin Yamal.
As Marca and DAZN reported, at the moment of being substituted, Vinicius said, "I'm leaving the team, it's good that I'm leaving." These words sparked serious discussion among Real Madrid fans.
According to the AS newspaper, Vinicius has recently felt a chill in his relationship with Xabi Alonso. Although the Brazilian footballer says he works more in defense and follows the coach's instructions, he is dissatisfied with the lack of recognition for his work. "Alonzo doesn't trust me, doesn't see me as a key player," Vinicius once told his relatives.
It is reported that the situation within the team is currently being seriously discussed. It is reported that the 25-year-old could leave the club as early as January if the situation remains unchanged. This will undoubtedly be a serious loss for Real Madrid, as Vinicius has become one of the club's key figures in recent years.
As a reminder, Vinicius Junior has been playing for Real Madrid since 2018. His current contract will last until June 30, 2027.
The fans are currently divided: one supports Vinicius and wants him to stay with the Creamers, while others prioritize discipline within the team.
The current situation has become a new challenge for Real Madrid - the fight for the championship requires maintaining balance not only on the field but also within the team.
