📉 Booed by the fans: Vinícius Jr. stuck in a goal drought | OneFootball

Real Madrid may have confidently beaten Sevilla 2-0, but one issue overshadows the victory: Vinícius Júnior remains deeply stuck in a goal drought. The Brazilian has been waiting for a success since October 4th – it’s now been 14 games without a goal.

However, such a phase isn’t entirely new for Vini. His longest dry spell was between 2020 and 2021, when he even went 25 games without scoring. Still, the pressure is mounting, as Real Madrid relies on his pace and attacking power.

The mood surrounding the attacking star is increasingly turning sour. When he was substituted at the Bernabéu, Vini was booed, while teammate Mbappé has already scored an incredible 59 goals in 2025 – so far, Viní has only managed 13.

He’s also making headlines off the pitch: on Instagram, he swapped his profile picture in a Real Madrid jersey for one of the Brazilian national team and commented on the win against Sevilla with just three dots: “…”

Coach Xabi Alonso held back after the match, merely stating that fans are allowed to express their opinions through boos. For Vinícius Júnior, one thing is now especially needed: calm, self-confidence – and the next goal.
