Vinicius Jr. ‘Seriously Considering Leaving’ Real โฃMadrid Afterโ Explosive Row โwith Xabi Alonso
madrid,Spain โค-โ Vinicius Jr. is reportedly seriously contemplating leaving Real Madrid following aโค heated and public dispute with manager โฃXabi Alonso duringโข and after Sunday’s El Clasico victory over Barcelona. The incident, culminating in a visible on-fieldโ outburst โฃand a post-match โขconfrontation, has left the clubโค backing Alonso and casting serious โdoubt on Vinicius’ โขfuture atโค the Bernabรฉu.
The controversy erupted when Alonso substituted โฃVinicius in the 80th minute, despite theโ player seeminglyโ wanting to โขremain on the pitch.โข Vinicius โคreacted with visible โfrustration,reportedly telling teammates,”I’mโฃ leavingโ the team. It’s better ifโ I leave โค- I’m leaving,”โ beforeโ heading โคstraight downโฃ the tunnel,โ only โขto return to โthe bench later.
The situation escalatedโ after the final whistle, with Vinicius appearing to be a central figure in a melee that involved players from both sides. โคFive players received yellowโฃ cards, and Real Madrid substitute Andriyโค Lunin was sent off.
Alonso โขattempted to downplay the incident, stating, โ”ther are different personalities โคin โขany โคdressing room. Rightโค now we will enjoy the win, then we’llโ have a conversation, for โsure.” He acknowledged Vinicius’ disappointment at being substituted, explaining, “The only thing Vinicius wasโข missing was a goal. It’s true โฃthat he came off the pitch whenโฃ he wasโค feeling best and I could have waited a bit to replaceโข him, but I understood that we needed fresh players to maintain control. Vinicius wanted to stay on because he was feeling good.”
He further added,”Franco (Mastantuono) wanted โto carry on playing too.โฃ He said to me,”Are you โขtaking me off?”โค And Iโข said,”Yes.” Something similar happened with Vini. โคHe wasn’t very happy, butโข neither was Franco. It โhappens to โeveryone,โค but I’m very โขhappyโค with Vinicius’s โขperformance. the schedule โขis demanding and we haveโฃ to keep โgoing.”
Vinicius declined to comment directly onโค his abrupt departure from the field, but โemphasized the team’s defensive โฃstance, telling Real madrid TV, “We try to maintain a balance, but it’s not always possible. We โคdidn’t want to โoffend anyone, not Barca players, nor the fans. We know that โwhen we step onto the pitch, we โขhave โฃto defend our side, and that’s how โit wasโค today.”
Judeโ Bellingham’s 43rd-minute goal โคsecured the win for โฃReal Madrid, butโ the victory has been overshadowed โขby the internal conflict. sources indicate the club is firmly supporting Alonso’s decision-making and handling of the situation,potentially pushing โVinicius towardsโฃ an exit.The long-term implications of โthis fallout remain to be seen, but the relationship โbetween oneโ of the world’s most โexciting players and his manager appears to be โat a breaking point.
