Real Madrid’s Decision After Vinícius Jr.’s El Clásico Outburst
- Vinícius Jr.’s outburst during El Clásico sparked tension at Real Madrid. The club’s response, however, was firm and unexpected.
Calm Over Chaos
Real Madrid has decided not to sanction Vinícius Jr. after his angry reaction to being substituted during El Clásico against Barcelona. According to sources at the club, the issue was resolved internally after Xabi Alonso and the player spoke in the dressing room following the 2–1 victory at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Inside Madrid, the moment is seen as an emotional reaction, not a disciplinary breach. The club believes the situation is closed and doesn’t require external intervention.
No Fine, but a Warning
Even without punishment, the club wasn’t pleased with Vinícius’s behavior. As one of the team’s three captains, he’s expected to lead by example, not display frustration on the pitch. “He must learn from this,” insiders say, highlighting the need for maturity and emotional control.
Real Madrid’s board is reinforcing Xabi Alonso’s authority, choosing not to interfere in technical matters. For the club, this is an opportunity for Vinícius to grow as a leader while protecting the unity of the locker room.

Xabi and Vini to Talk
Xabi Alonso is expected to meet with Vinícius later this week once the team resumes training after two days off. The goal is to clear the air and ensure full focus on the upcoming fixtures.
Real Madrid’s stance is clear: no punishment, but self-reflection. The club stands behind its coach, sending a powerful message — at Madrid, the team always comes before the individual.
