At Real Madrid, the management sent a crystal-clear message to Vinicius Jr following the heated episode at the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday night.

Last night, Kylian Mbappé matched a historic record set by Cristiano Ronaldo with 59 goals in a calendar year on Saturday. This achievement also helped Los Blancos secure a vital 2-0 win over Sevilla. But this Sunday, it’s Vinicius Jr who is dominating headlines in Spain. Booed as he was substituted late in the match, the Brazilian forward once again made waves on social media—actions that certainly didn’t go unnoticed.

Just minutes after the final whistle, Vinicius posted photos with a pointed caption: “…”. He also changed his profile picture, swapping an image of himself in a Real Madrid shirt for one where he’s wearing the Brazil national team jersey.

According to AS, Real Madrid’s management has made its position clear in this saga. The club’s hierarchy is firmly backing the player, supporting him through thick and thin. Florentino Pérez, the Madrid boss, remains convinced that Vinicius should be considered a true star of the team. While discontent continues to simmer among the Merengue supporters, the decision-makers at the Bernabéu have no issue with the Brazilian.
