Vinicius out of the way Real Madrid fans are turned upside down, Ballon d'Or-class superstar plunges public sentiment is in favor of Alonso
Real Madrid fans who no longer want Vinicius Junior.
Real lost 1-2 to Manchester City in the sixth round of the European Champions League (UCL) league phase of the 2025-2026 season at Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain on the 11th (Korea time). With this defeat, Real's red light increased to the round of 16.
Vinicius again failed to show his qualifications as a superstar on this day. He looked off to a good start. Two minutes into the first half, Vinicius managed to induce a penalty. However, it was corrected to a free kick. Since then, Vinicius's performance has been a shame to say he wants the Ballon d'Or.
Hodrigo's fantastic cross was delivered to Vinicius in the counterattack in the 7th minute of the first half, but the shot was inaccurate. Aside from the very first half, Vinicius failed to produce any other highlights in the first half. Vinicius, who should do better in the absence of Kylian Mbappe, but lacked a presence.
Vinicius was serious in the second half as well. In the 12th minute of the second half, Vinicius had a perfect counterattack chance. In the absence of pressure, he wasted an opportunity with an inaccurate pass to Hodrigo. In the 32nd minute of the second half, Hodrigo's cross was accurately directed to Vinicius, but the header escaped. Three minutes later, a good chance came from a corner, but Vinicius's shot went skyward.
Real fans' patience exploded when Vinicius failed to play his part in the attack at all. After the game, it's very easy to find comments on Real's official social media that say "Vinícius get out". Public sentiment against Vinicius has returned.
The biggest reason is that I can't play soccer. Vinicius has not scored a goal for Real since scoring two against Villarreal in early October. There are days when the performance itself was good, but the productivity of attack points plummeted. Five goals and seven assists in 22 games are not the right stets for Vinicius. It compares so much to Mbappe, who has 25 goals and 4 assists in 21 games.
Another reason is his relationship with Real manager Xavi Alonso. Everyone knows that director Alonso's relationship with Vinicius is not smooth. In fact, Vinicius even stopped negotiating re-signing with Real because of Alonso. As Real's performance falls, Alonso's position is shaking. Public opinion toward Alonso was not good, but public opinion began to emerge that the player who provided the cause on the field was poor Vinicius.
Even if the coach is not good, Vinicius is a player who has to do his part. This is because he is a player with extraordinary salary and expectations. However, due to various problems such as attitude on the field, discord with the coach, and poor performance, real fans are also turning into a trend that does not want Vinicius. Amid the constant rumors of Vinicius's transfer to Saudi Arabia, Real can also make a decision in this atmosphere.
