Real Madrid’s forwards Vinícius Júnior and Xabi Alonso have reportedly seen their relationship sour following the forward’s angry reaction to being substituted in Sunday’s Clásico. The incident, which occurred during the high-stakes match against Barcelona, has sparked speculation about team dynamics within the squad. Sources indicate that the tension between the two players has escalated, with Alonso reportedly feeling the substitution was unjust and leading to a confrontation between the two.
Vinícius Júnior’s frustration was evident during the match, with the player expressing his discontent with the decision to replace him. This has reportedly led to a rift between the two, raising concerns about the team’s cohesion and internal communications. While the club has not officially commented on the matter, insiders suggest that the relationship between the two players is under pressure, which could impact their performance on the pitch.
Alonso, who has been a key figure in Real Madrid’s midfield, has maintained a professional stance, but the incident has highlighted the challenges of managing such a high-profile team. The club’s management may need to address the situation to ensure that team unity is not compromised, especially ahead of crucial matches in the coming weeks.
