The Clasico was faithful to its legend. Because the meeting between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, concluded with a victory for the Merengue, gave rise to great moments of tension. The best illustration of this was obviously the start of a general brawl that occurred at the final whistle while the Madrid players attacked Lamine Yamal, guilty of having spoken too much before the match.
But the match at the top of La Liga was also marked by a very heated altercation between Vinicius and Xabi Alonso, the Brazilian player not hesitating to insult his coach when he was replaced by Rodrygo, in the 71ste minute.
The Madrid striker first let his astonishment show. ” Me ? Me ? Sir, sir! It's still me”he said, arms wide open, as shown in images captured by DAZN Spain. But this astonishment quickly gave way to anger. “I'm leaving the team, I'm leaving, I prefer to leave”he then shouted towards the bench, heading towards the locker room.
” Kiss my ass “
But Vinicius did not stop there. ” Kiss my ass “he shouted to the former midfielder, first in Portuguese then in Spanish to be sure that the Madrid technician understood the message. The latter was clearly heard and Xabi Alonso did not fail to respond to him. “Come on, Vini!” Damn »he replied while the goalkeeping coach quickly joined the Rio native in the locker room to convince him to return to the bench to encourage his teammates.
Once he returned to the substitutes, Vinicius was also on the front line in the excesses which punctuated the end of the match, not hesitating to attack Lamine Yamal for his comments made before the match. If he was happy on Instagram to have passed “a good Sunday at home”the Madrid striker will be entitled to an explanation of the text with Xabi Alonso. “Regarding what happened with Vinicius, we will talk about it in private”confided the former Bavarian at a press conference.
