Here we go again. Saturday evening, Kylian Mbappé certainly equaled Cristiano Ronaldo’s historic record with 59 goals in a calendar year, just as the Merengues obtained a precious victory against Sevilla (2-0). But it is above all Vinícius Júnior who we are talking about this Sunday in Spain. Whistled during his replacement at the end of the match, the Brazilian striker once again acted up on social networks, and it clearly did not go unnoticed.

Then, he changed his profile photo, swapping a photo of him wearing the Real Madrid jersey for a photo of him wearing the Brazilian team jersey. For the Madrid media, it is a very strong message sent by number 7 to everyone madridismoand we seem to have reached a breaking point and no return, while the Merengue supporters had already been very annoyed by his attitude on the bench during the Copa del Rey match against Talavera.

And as explained A.S.the management of Real Madrid seems to have chosen its side in this story. The club’s staff thus sides with the player, whom it supports through thick and thin. While it is true that Florentino Pérez has put a little pressure on the player recently to improve his level of performance on the pitch, the Madrid boss remains convinced that he should be considered a star of the team. Just as he is aware of the work done by the Canarinha star and the seriousness of the player, with whom the dialogue would be very fluid.
While the rumble continues among Merengue supporters, Madrid decision-makers have no problem with the Brazilian. Is this a strategy to convince him to stay, while his contract expires in 2027? It’s a possibility, and for the moment, it’s clear that things are not really moving in the direction of the club from the Spanish capital…
