MADRID, Spain — Real Madrid’s star forward Vinicius Junior will not face any disciplinary measures following his emotional reaction to being substituted during last weekend’s high-stakes Clasico match against Barcelona. The 25-year-old Brazilian was visibly upset when he was replaced in the 72nd minute of the tense 2-1 victory, storming off the pitch and down the tunnel. While Vinicius later issued a public apology to fans, teammates, and club president Florentino Perez, he notably did not extend the same to head coach Xabi Alonso. However, Alonso confirmed on Friday that the matter has been resolved. Speaking at a press conference ahead of Real Madrid’s upcoming La Liga clash with Valencia, Alonso revealed that Vinicius delivered a heartfelt and sincere speech during a team meeting, effectively closing the chapter on the incident. Alonso emphasized unity within the squad, stating, “We are all in the same boat and rowing in the same direction.” He also highlighted the competitive spirit of the players as a positive force. The incident occurred amid ongoing contract negotiations for Vinicius, whose current deal runs until 2027. Despite contributing five goals this season, Vinicius has been overshadowed by Kylian Mbappe’s stellar performance, with the Frenchman netting 16 goals in 13 appearances across all competitions. Real Madrid currently leads La Liga with 27 points, five ahead of Barcelona, and will face Valencia on Saturday.
