Europa Press, E-Noticies The aftermath of El Clásico! Vinícius Júnior makes it official, caught, he's leaving Real Madrid.
Vinícius was the main protagonist of El Clásico with the ball, when he was substituted, during the scuffle, and with his statements
Real Madrid achieved a very valuable victory in the Clásico that has created an atmosphere of maximum euphoria in the white locker room. Xabi Alonso's team prevailed with authority and composure, confirming their excellent form and ambition for all the titles. However, what should have been a perfect night ended with an unexpected episode that has put Vinícius Júnior at the center of the storm.
During the match, number "7" delivered his best performance of the season. He was incisive, electric in one-on-one duels, and more committed than usual to defensive duties. At times, he reminded everyone of the unstoppable Vinícius who amazed Europe on the big nights at Bernabéu.
However, with 15 minutes left, Xabi Alonso made a decision that changed everything. The coach decided to substitute him to bring on Rodrygo, seeking greater balance and control in the final minutes. It was then that Vinícius Júnior exploded with rage in the middle of the field, visibly upset with his coach's decision.
Vinícius Júnior starts a fire with his words
The cameras perfectly captured his reaction: "I'm leaving the team, I'm leaving, better, I'm leaving", Vinícius Júnior shouted as he left the field with a defiant expression. He didn't greet his coach or his teammates and went straight to the locker room, leaving Bernabéu stunned. Minutes later, he returned, but only to take part in the final scuffle that ended with a yellow card for him.
Neither Xabi Alonso nor Florentino Pérez liked his attitude at all, as Pérez watched the scene from the box with a serious face. The club understands that the tension of the Clásico can trigger impulses, but there are limits that shouldn't be crossed. What Vinícius Júnior did has gone beyond what is allowed.
Vinícius Júnior doesn't apologize
The most serious part was yet to come. At the end of the match, the player was expected to publish a message of apology to his coach and the fans. However, the message that Vinícius Júnior left for all Madridists after the Clásico brought even more controversy and confusion.
"A message to all Madridists, especially those who came to Bernabéu and supported us so much. This is the Clásico: there's a lot going on both on and off the field. We try to keep the balance, but it's not always possible. We don't want to offend anyone, neither the young people nor the fans. We know that when we step onto the field, we have to do our part, and that's what happened today. Hala Madrid," he concluded.
Although his words seemed conciliatory, there was no apology at all. There was no mention of Xabi Alonso, nor of the public anger, nor of his behavior. On the contrary: his tone sounded distant and, for many, disconnected from reality.
Florentino Pérez may make Vinícius Júnior's words come true
The feeling around the white camp is that the relationship between Vinícius Júnior and the club is broken. Xabi Alonso feels betrayed and has no intention of granting him privileges again. Meanwhile, Florentino Pérez believes that the Brazilian has lost the competitive focus that made him special.
What should have been a glorious night for Real Madrid has turned into a bitter hangover. Vinícius Júnior has set off all the alarms with his behavior. If Florentino Pérez has made anything clear in the past, it's that he doesn't tie himself to anyone.
