5⃣ Today's stories: Vinicius v Xabi, Betis v Atleti, Lamine's woes | OneFootball

Monday, October 27 arrives packed with news, so here at 'One Football' we’re bringing you up to date with everything that happened this weekend.

The Vinicius Jr. vs Xabi Alonso conflict, the preview of Betis-Atlético de Madrid, the rest of the matchday, what’s going on with Lamine Yamal? and what happened in international football.

The Xabi Alonso vs Vinicius Jr. Conflict

The Brazilian winger was extremely angry after being told he was one of Xabi Alonso’s substitutions. He left the pitch with his arms open, complaining, and sent a message before heading to the locker room: "I'm leaving the team, better, I'm leaving."

Xabi Alonso could be seen mouthing: "Come on, Vini, for f***’s sake." Later, the man from Tolosa said in a press conference: "I don’t want to lose focus on the victory, but we’ll talk about it." He hinted that he’s going to have a conversation with the Brazilian.

What’s going on with Lamine Yamal?

The Barcelona winger has recently been dealing with a pubic injury, which could be affecting him. The reality is that against PSG he didn’t score or assist, and against Real Madrid he neither scored nor assisted, and he looked less decisive—something that’s very unusual for him.
