The atmosphere is electric at Real Madrid as tensions rise between Vinicius and coach Xabi Alonso.
During the Champions Leage match in Almaty on Tuesday night, the Brazilian winger couldn’t hide his frustration when he was substituted in the 70th minute. His displeasure was evident as he stormed back to the bench, clearly upset about being taken off the pitch.
This isn’t the first time Vinicius has shown his discontent. Earlier in the match against Espanyol, he threw a water bottle on the ground after being replaced by Rodrygo. Now, with another sulking episode, it seems the tension between him and Alonso is only getting worse.

Vinicius’s performance also raises questions, especially when compared to Kylian Mbappé, who effortlessly scored a hat-trick in the same match.
Tensions Rising at Real Madrid
Xabi Alonso is no stranger to the mounting pressure. After a previous incident against Lyon, he admitted that it wasn’t the best time to have a chat with his star player. However, with Vinicius’s latest display of discontent, the rift between the coach and the talented winger appears to be widening once more.
Alonso surely hoped to avoid such drama, especially when his star player is performing poorly while others shine.
In Madrid, the narrative is already brewing: Vinicius sulking while Mbappé steals the spotlight is a storyline Alonso would have preferred to keep under wraps. The stakes are high, and the eyes of the footballing world are watching closely as this saga unfolds.
