Lucas Vázquez speaks out about the boos aimed at Vinícius Júnior

Vinícius Jr is attracting most of the spotlight at Real Madrid. The boos that he received from the Bernabéu in the last league match have shaped the club's current situation since then. Xabi Alonso decided to take him off the field in the final minutes with the score in their favor, and the fans reacted directly.

From that moment on, the atmosphere became a topic of national debate. One part of the fanbase understood the substitution as a logical move, while another interpreted that the Brazilian's performance was not up to the task. Vinícius Jr's case has become an emotional thermometer of the moment that Real Madrid is living.

The impact of the substitution was also felt in the directors' box. Florentino Pérez, who watched the match from his usual seat, showed his surprise when he realized that the "7" was leaving the field substituted. The image of the president with a look of disbelief was interpreted as a reflection of how hard that moment hit.

Others, however, tried to play down the issue through analysis. Jorge Valdano recalled that whistles are part of the Bernabéu's DNA and that many stars have gone through that. His reading was clear: Vinícius Jr must respond by asking for the ball even more, and not by hiding.

The locker room also moved quickly, because this type of episode affects cohesion. Players such as Mbappé, Bellingham, or Asensio showed their support on social media with brief but meaningful gestures. At Real Madrid, social media has become an extension of the locker room, where every message is interpreted.

Even so, the most notable comment was that of Lucas Vázquez. The Galician, former teammate of Vinícius, sent direct support in a post by the Brazilian. It was a simple gesture but one with symbolic value, because he knows better than anyone what that noise means.

Lucas Vázquez supports Vinícius Jr from Leverkusen and keeps his bond with Real Madrid

Lucas Vázquez left Real Madrid last summer to join Bayer Leverkusen. However, his connection with Madridism is still complete, and he doesn't miss what happens at the Bernabéu. In fact, he experienced the harshness of the stands firsthand for years.

That's why, when he saw the episode of the boos aimed at Vinícius Jr, he decided to intervene. His message was short and very clear: "My captain," written in the comments of the Brazilian's post. In such a tense moment, that kind of support is appreciated, because it reminds everyone that at Real Madrid nobody survives alone.
