Vinicius made a statement after the match with Barcelona.
Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior addressed the fans after the victory over Barcelona (2:1) in the 10th round of La Liga.
The forward was substituted in the 72nd minute and publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the head coach of the Madrid club, Xabi Alonso. The Spanish specialist stated after the game that he would talk to the player.
“I want to address all Madridistas, especially those who came to the Santiago Bernabeu and passionately supported us. This is a clásico, and a lot happens on and off the field. We try to keep ourselves in check, but that’s not always possible. We don’t want to offend anyone: neither young players nor fans. We know that when we step onto the field, we have to do our job, and that’s exactly what we focused on,” Bolavip quotes the Brazilian's words after the game.
After the match between Real and Barcelona, a scuffle broke out on the field involving Vinicius and Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal.
Real Madrid has collected 27 points and leads the standings of the Spanish championship, while Barcelona, with 22 points, is in second place.
