Saturday evening, this duel between Real Madrid and Sevilla FC was to be a party at the Bernabéu… Kylian Mbappé equaled Cristiano Ronaldo’s record of goals in a calendar year in the merengue tunic, while Xabi Alonso’s team won 2-0. But the supporters present in the flamboyant Madrid enclosure were not really convinced. On several occasions, whistles were heard in the stands, since the content proposed by Jude Bellingham’s band was still considered quite mediocre.
But above all, there is one player who was taken to task: Vinícius Júnior. He was the target of whistles when he was replaced, he who once again had a rather average match, and obviously, he was not really happy when he left the field in the 83rd minute. A match event that would have ended there if the Brazilian had not taken his phone to act up in the locker room.
Total break?
Indeed, as pro-Madrid media like Marcahe immediately published photos of the match with the simple caption: “…”. Three ellipses that say a lot, and even worse, he deleted his profile photo where he was seen with the Real Madrid jersey… to put a photo of himself with the Brazilian selection jersey. A sign of a total break with the club and its supporters for many observers and journalists.
“We have again seen that he is clearly not appreciated by a large part of the Bernabéu”explains thus Marca. “The Bernabéu is getting tired of Vinicius Jr”indicates the media in another article. It must be said that earlier this week, images of him laughing on the sidelines when Talavera scored against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey had already caused controversy, and in general, his behavior annoys more than one in Madrid. After the match, Xabi Alonso more or less avoided questions on this subject, answering a little sideways: “the supporters decide and they show their opinion. I didn’t talk about that with him.”. But across the Pyrenees, we are aware that it was perhaps a turning point for the future of Vinícius Júnior last night, while his contract expires in 2027 and the two parties still cannot find common ground…
