A Clásico That Set Madrid on Fire

El Clásico at the Bernabéu delivered far more than a 2-1 victory for Real Madrid. While Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham sealed the win on the scoreboard, all eyes turned to Vinícius Junior — not for his play, but for his explosive behavior.

When Xabi Alonso substituted him for Rodrygo, Vinícius lost his temper. Cameras from DAZN caught him shouting, “Me? Me? Mister, me?” before muttering an angry “vai tomar no cu” as he walked off the pitch. Then came the line that shook Valdebebas: “I’m leaving the team. I’m out.”

The outburst didn’t sit well with anyone — not the coach, not the dressing room, and not the club’s hierarchy. According to Cadena SER, several teammates labeled his attitude as “unacceptable” and “selfish.” Alonso tried to calm things down after the game, saying, “Every player has their own personality. We’ll talk about this privately when the time is right.”

Xabi Has the Final Say

The decision on a potential disciplinary action now rests solely in Xabi Alonso’s hands, with full backing from the board. Inside the club, the feeling is unanimous: as the team’s third captain, Vinícius cannot behave like that — especially in the biggest game of the season.

Some within the club admit the substitution may have come early, but everyone agrees the player’s reaction was out of line. Sources say Alonso decided to take him off after noticing that Vinícius had stopped pressing and wasn’t tracking back defensively — a move that clearly frustrated the Brazilian star.

Contract Renewal on Hold

The fallout from El Clásico could have serious long-term effects. Vinícius’ contract renewal, agreed months ago, remains completely frozen. The player reportedly changed his stance, demanding a higher salary — a request the club refused, unwilling to break its wage structure.

With his current deal running until 2027, Real Madrid is in no rush. But insiders warn that if the situation doesn’t improve within the next year, the club could consider selling him rather than risk losing him for free.

For now, the board stands firmly behind Xabi Alonso, expecting Vinícius to apologize and reset. But one message echoes through the Santiago Bernabéu: no player is bigger than the club.
The Vinícius case is burning hot — and the next chapter is just beginning.
