Real Madrid are at a crossroads. Despite the victory against Sevilla, the unease is real, and the Santiago Bernabéu has delivered its verdict. The whistles were not aimed at the bench… but at the pitch itself. And above all, at Vinicius.
Vinicius has been targeted by Real Madrid supporters… but the club continues to back him. According to a wide-ranging survey by MARCA, fans are largely protecting Xabi Alonso. For 61% of them, the real problem comes from the players, far ahead of the management (23%) and the coach (16%). Even more striking: 76% want Alonso to stay and be reinforced, while only 14% are calling for his immediate departure.
The Bernabéu Takes a Clear Stance
On the other hand, the case of Vinícius Jr draws unanimous opinion… against him. Substituted amid boos against Sevilla and once again at the center of controversy, the Brazilian has been abandoned by the stands: 86% of fans believe his situation is beyond repair and are in favor of a departure. A heavy, brutal, and unequivocal figure.
Supporters furious with Vinicius. Florentino Pérez, for his part, still supports his number 7 internally. But between the anger of the crowd and the continued trust in Xabi Alonso, the message is crystal clear: the Bernabéu has chosen its side. And the pressure on Vinícius has never been greater.
The players themselves are also publicly showing support for Vinicius on social media. But should these messages be believed? Behind the scenes, according to Romain Molina, the reality would be very different. For now, then, the advantage goes unofficially to Xabi Alonso, and officially to Vini… perhaps in order to sell him more effectively?
