The Real Madrid (ESP) fans booed Vini Jr during the match against Levante (ESP) last Saturday (17th). Despite the criticism, the former Flamengo player remains available for the Madrid team and will be in the starting lineup against Monaco (FRA) in the Champions League.
Courtois, Valverde, Asencio, Huijsen, and Camavinga; Guler, Tchouameni, and Bellingham; Mastantuono, Vini Jr, and Mbappé.
Additionally, it is important to highlight that Real Madrid's president, Florentino Pérez, is not willing to let go of Vinícius Júnior at this moment. Therefore, the tendency is for the player to remain with the Spanish team.
Furthermore, the Real Madrid president is still awaiting Vini Jr's response regarding a contract extension. The Spanish club's goal is to keep the forward for a longer period, even though his current contract only expires in June 2027.
Real Madrid fans booed Vini Jr due to the team's negative results this season. The Madrid team lost to Barcelona (ESP) 3-2 in the Spanish Super Cup and, therefore, was eliminated by Albacete (ESP) in the Copa del Rey.
With Vini Jr, Real Madrid will face Monaco starting at 5:00 PM (Brasília time), in the seventh round of the Champions League. The match, which will take place at the Santiago Bernabéu, will be broadcast on HBO Max via streaming.
