🎙️ Trouble with Vinicius Junior? Xabi Alonso breaks his silence! | OneFootball

After the hard-fought 2-1 away win against Real Sociedad, many discussions at Real Madrid once again centered around superstar Vinicius Junior. The accusation: After being substituted in the 70th minute, the Brazilian supposedly reacted angrily.

But according to Xabi Alonso, there is absolutely nothing to these claims. “We talked,” the coach revealed at the press conference before the Champions League match against Olympique Marseille. “But I talk to a lot of people. In the context of the game, I think he was substituted in the 70th minute after a great performance, and that just wasn’t the best moment to be attacking.”

In fact, the Royals had already been playing with ten men for 40 minutes at that stage and were busy trying to hold on to their narrow lead.

“He sacrificed himself, and it was a team victory. He’s in top shape and can start tomorrow,” Alonso also revealed.

So, nothing to worry about after all?
