📱 After Clásico controversy: Real star Vini Jr. explains his outburst | OneFootball

Real Madrid’s victory in El Clásico was almost a mere afterthought after the final whistle. Due to his outburst during his substitution and his behavior afterward, superstar Vinicius Jr. dominated the headlines—even in the days that followed. 

His allegedly tense relationship with coach Xabi Alonso has also been a constant topic of discussion recently. Now, the Brazilian has made a public statement and is visibly eager to smooth things over.

“Today, I want to apologize to all Madridistas for my reaction when I was substituted in El Clásico. Just as I have already personally apologized to my teammates, the club, and the president during training today, I would like to do so here once again,” the 25-year-old wrote on ‘X’. 

At the same time, Vini Jr. also offered an explanation for his outburst: “Sometimes my passion gets the better of me because I always want to win and help my team. My fighting spirit comes from the love I have for this club and everything it stands for. I promise to continue fighting for the good of Real Madrid every second—just as I have done since the very first day.”

The fact that Real’s exceptional player did not specifically mention the coach in his apology, however, could once again spark new speculation about his relationship with Xabi Alonso.
