Vinícius Júnior was one of the standout performers in Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory over FC Barcelona in El Clásico. The Brazilian forward caused constant trouble for the opposing defense during his time on the pitch. However, attention quickly shifted from his performance to his reaction when he was substituted for Rodrygo.
Surprised by the decision, Vinícius repeatedly asked if he was truly the one being taken off. He left the field visibly frustrated, heading straight to the locker room without greeting Xabi Alonso. Moments later, he returned to the bench to watch the final minutes of the match — an image that spread rapidly and sparked criticism, even from within the club.
According to AS, the reason behind Vinícius’s frustration goes beyond his substitution. The forward has reportedly been hurt by recent comments and rumors questioning his commitment to Real Madrid. Far from considering an exit, Vinícius remains deeply attached to the club. His anger stemmed from his eagerness to shine in El Clásico and to prove his dedication to the Madrid fans.
