Real Madrid earned a 2-0 home victory over Levante at the Santiago Bernabéu, though the result came amid a tense atmosphere as sections of the crowd voiced their frustration throughout much of the match. Vinícius Jr. was the main target of the boos, with the Brazilian struggling to make a decisive impact and fans expecting more from one of the team’s key figures.

Los Blancos eventually secured all three points thanks to a much-improved second-half performance, aided by an influential display from Arda Güler. Despite the win, the focus quickly shifted to Vinícius and his current situation at the club.

According to Carlos Forjanes of AS, fresh concerns have emerged regarding Vinícius’ contract renewal. The report claims the winger was deeply affected by the reaction from the Bernabéu crowd, having been booed even during the announcement of the starting line-up, more than any of his teammates. Within the club, there is growing concern that this episode could complicate ongoing renewal talks, adding further tension to negotiations over extending the number seven’s contract.

Saturday’s match against Levante felt like a verdict from the stands. Now, Vinícius faces the challenge of responding on the pitch, rediscovering his best form and reconnecting with the Madrid faithful. The Brazilian has already felt public criticism from the fans, and the clearest path forward is through performances that remind everyone why he has played such a crucial role in Real Madrid’s recent success.
