Kylian Mbappe & Vinicius Junior were targeted by sections of Real Madrid fans on Tuesday 21 April during the La Liga clash against Deportivo Alaves at the Santiago Bernabeu in the team’s first match since their Champions League elimination.

The reaction came just days after Madrid were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League quarter finals by Bayern Munich, a result that appears to have heightened tension around the squad.

Boos heard before kick-off

The atmosphere turned hostile even before the match began. During the warm-up, whistles rang out from parts of the Bernabeu crowd, directed broadly at the players.

However, once the game started, the focus shifted clearly toward Mbappe & Vinicius.

Targeted reaction during the match

Both players were met with audible boos every time they touched the ball in the opening stages. The reaction was repeated throughout the early minutes creating a tense backdrop inside the stadium.

Real Madrid entered the match against Alaves looking to steady their season after falling short in Europe. Instead, the reaction from the stands underlined the pressure now surrounding the squad.
