At Real Madrid, the form curve is currently pointing upwards again from a sporting perspective. Yesterday, the Royals were able to defeat Real Betis 5-1 and secure their fourth consecutive league victory. Nevertheless, a significant chorus of whistles echoed through the Santiago Bernabéu, especially in the 77th minute.

In that minute, Vinícius Jr. was substituted by Franco Mastantuono. The fans reacted to the Brazilian's mediocre performance, as he had little influence on the clear victory and has now gone 18 consecutive games without scoring a goal.

Already in December, Vini Jr. received whistles from the Madridistas multiple times. Apparently, nothing has changed in the new year. Whether the relationship with the Real fans will improve remains to be seen.

According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the winger is still considering a departure in the summer. At least the Brazilian receives backing from his coach.

At the subsequent press conference, Alsonso praised his protégé's performance and emphasized that Vini Jr. is extremely important for Real.
