Vinicius more expensive than Neymar, the world record

The behavior of Vinicius Jr during the Clasico won by Real Madrid against FC Barcelona (2-1) on October 26 had raised a lot of ink. Replaced in the 72nd minute of the match, the Brazilian striker uttered an insult before running off to the locker room, then finally returning to sit on the substitutes’ bench.

Subsequently, coach Xabi Alonso publicly announced that the debate was closed and that he wanted to resolve the matter privately. Recently questioned on this subject in the columns of Cadena COPE, Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois spoke frankly.

Courtois added in the same tone as his trainer.
“The Vinicius affair is closed and digested.
“He has apologized and we are moving forward,” confided the Belgian.

“We are all human and, in a very tense match, we can react in a way that we may regret. He apologized to the entire team and all the technical staff. There is no problem »added the Red Devils goalkeeper.
