Vinicius Junior is undoubtedly one of Real Madrid’s most important players, even if he is not as indispensable as many thought.
This was confirmed on Sunday in the Spanish Super Cup final when he was substituted in the 76th minute, with Los Blancos needing three goals to Barça’s 10.
This decision by Ancelotti was not well received by Vinicius or his entourage, who expressed their frustration. Real Madrid are aware of this and this has led to increased tensions between the two parties, as reported by Diario AS.
A planned departure?
Relations between Real Madrid and Vinicius have been generally excellent, especially this season after the club supported their player by not participating in the Ballon d’Or ceremony after learning he would not win the 2024 award. However , doubt has now been sown, which is unnecessary given Saudi Arabia’s interest in the Brazilian superstar.
