Vinicius Junior
Vinicius Junior will face no disciplinary action for his Clasico substitution outburst, Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso revealed on Friday. The Brazilian remonstrated with Alonso and marched off down the tunnel after he was hauled off in the 72nd minute in last weekend’s tense 2-1 win over arch-rivals Barcelona.
The 25-year-old issued an apology to Real fans, his teammates, and president Florentino Perez — but pointedly not to Alonso — in midweek. But the Real manager assured Vinicius the affair was “over”.
Xabi Alonso
He told a press conference on the eve of Valencia’s visit in La Liga: “On Wednesday, we had a meeting with all the staff, players, and Vinicius gave an impeccable speech. He spoke sincerely, from the heart. For me, this matter has been closed since Wednesday.” Alonso said there would be no “reprisals” against the Brazilian forward.
Following the bust-up with Alonso, Vinicius was also involved in the heated on-pitch brawl that ensued between both sets of players after the final whistle over negative comments made by Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal towards Real Madrid. During a social media livestream, Yamal is alleged to have called out Los Blancos for ‘stealing’ and ‘complaining’ with respect to referreeing decisions, which ultimately end up going in Madrid’s favour.
