Vinicius Jr. fumes after being subbed off in Real Madrid v Barcelona | OneFootball

Vinicius Jr. was involved in a commotion when he was substituted during Real Madrid's victory over Barcelona on Sunday. The Brazilian left the field at the 27th minute of the second half of the classic to make way for Rodrygo and left the pitch furious.

When the fourth official raised the board, the forward was outraged, uttered curses, and took a long time to leave the field.

As soon as he left, Vinicius complained through the technical area and did not greet coach Xabi Alonso. He then went straight to the merengue team's locker room but returned to the bench minutes later.

The coach's decision to take the Brazilian off was made after he failed to track back on a play. This information is from ESPN.

“I am taking many positives from Vini Jr.'s performance and I don't want to lose sight of what is important. He contributed a lot. It is an important and deserved victory, which could have been more comprehensive given the chances we had and the penalty,” said Xabi Alonso after the match.

“Regaining the feeling of being a competitive team in big games is fundamental. All coaches know there are different personalities. Now let's enjoy it, and when the time comes, we'll talk about these things in the locker room, of course,” he concluded.

Commotion at the end

At the end of the match, Vinicius was still involved in a general commotion among players from both teams. During the fight, the Brazilian made hand gestures to indicate that Lamine Yamal “talked too much.”

The action is a response to provocations from Barcelona's number 10 throughout the week. He even said that Real Madrid “steals” and recalled victories and goals against the rival in a mocking tone.
