🎥 Xabi Alonso joins the rondo and Vinicius nutmegs him 😳 | OneFootball

One of the more curious images from Real Madrid’s training session on Tuesday morning was seeing Xabi Alonso, who was celebrating his 44th birthday today, taking part in a rondo. And everything was going well until it was his turn to go into the middle.

The cameras of ElDesmarque and El Chiringuito captured the exact moment when Vinicius escaped his coach’s pressure with a spectacular nutmeg, causing laughter among all his teammates.

The latest reports suggest that the relationship between the two is not going through its best days, and that the Brazilian has even informed the club of his refusal to renew his contract precisely because of this.  

Is another week on the bench coming for Vinicius after this? Jokes aside, the truth is that both maintain professionalism and a good atmosphere during training, as shown by the sequence.

Is this the first step toward a reconciliation that could improve the atmosphere in the Madrid squad?
