Clasico: Vinicius angry with Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid responds | OneFootball

Vinicius - Xabi Alonso

Real Madrid has responded to Vinicius Jr's behavior on Sunday night when he was substituted in the 72nd minute of the Clasico.

During the intense Clasico clash this Sunday, Vinicius was visibly furious after being replaced by Rodrygo in the 72nd minute. The Brazilian lashed out in anger at his coach, Xabi Alonso. According to revelations from Marca on Monday, the leadership at Los Blancos understood the frustration of the Brazilian international, who arguably did not deserve to be taken off given his strong performance.

However, the Madrid hierarchy was not pleased with the public outburst from the Auriverde star. "It wasn't necessary, and he needs to learn from this. Vinicius can't put on such a display—he's the team's third captain and must set an example," said a member of the Madrid camp. An internal discussion is scheduled between Vinicius and coach Xabi Alonso to resolve the situation.
