Fresh revelations have emerged regarding the heated tirade Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. unleashed during his side’s most recent outing, and the details paint an unflattering picture for both the player and the club.
The Brazilian winger once again found himself at the center of controversy on Sunday, dominating headlines across Spain after his furious reaction to being substituted in Real Madrid’s highly anticipated clash with arch-rivals Barcelona.
The encounter, a tense El Clásico showdown filled with emotion and intensity, saw Vinícius start the game with his usual flair and energy.
However, as the second half wore on, Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso made a tactical change that no one – especially the 25-year-old forward – expected. When Vinícius saw his number appear on the fourth official’s board, his disbelief was immediate and visible for everyone watching.
Cameras captured the Brazilian international’s raw frustration as he stormed toward the sidelines. He was seen gesturing angrily, shouting, and visibly shaking his head, unable to hide his emotions. His reaction sparked instant debate among fans and pundits alike, many questioning whether his behavior had crossed a line of professionalism.
Now, a new report from Mundo Deportivo has shed more light on exactly what Vinícius said during that tense moment.
According to the Spanish outlet, as he made his way off the pitch, the Real Madrid star was caught on camera angrily shouting a string of emotional words directed toward the bench. His comments reportedly included, “You’re going to take my ass off!? Always me! I’m leaving the team. I’m leaving, I’d better leave.”
These remarks, though brief, underline the intensity of Vinícius’ anger and frustration at being replaced during such a crucial game. Sources suggest that the player felt singled out by the decision, believing that he was unfairly chosen to make way despite not performing poorly.
The outburst has since sparked conversations within the Real Madrid camp and among fans about the winger’s temperament and maturity. Some sympathize with his competitive spirit, arguing that his reaction came from passion and a desire to help the team win.
Others, however, view it as a sign of disrespect toward his coach and teammates, pointing out that such behavior can create unnecessary tension within the squad.
As things stand, Real Madrid have not made any official statement regarding the incident, but reports indicate that the club could address Vinícius’ conduct privately in the coming days.
