La Liga
Vinicius had a challenging night at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium where Real Madrid defeated Barcelona with a 2-1 scoreline. However, the incident that marked the match was not the score, but the visible displeasure of the Brazilian when he was substituted by Xabi Alonso in the 72nd minute.
Under his coach's lead, Vinicius left the field showing signs of anger, argued with Alonso before heading towards the tunnel without waiting for the end of the match. The coach avoided commenting on this in the subsequent press conference, but the club is already considering more decisive measures.
Vinicius and the episode in the Clásico
Vinicius had a good performance for most of the game: he created the play that led to Real Madrid's goal and played with intensity.
However, the substitution triggered a controversial reaction: the forward reportedly said "I'm leaving the team!" according to the DAZN platform, as he made his way to the locker room.
This behavior did not sit well with the club's management, interpreting the scene as a further sign of lack of alignment with the project led by Xabi Alonso.
Real Madrid issues an ultimatum to Vinicius
Vinicius has been warned: Real Madrid presents two scenarios for the immediate future. He either renews his contract or will see a reduced role or even be involved in a transfer to avoid leaving as a free agent in 2027.
The club believes that the player cannot repeat episodes like the one witnessed against Barcelona and has communicated that this "will not be tolerated again." The demand is based on professionalism and collective commitment.
His current bond with Real Madrid ends in 2027, and the club aims to secure a renewal or transfer before the value of the Brazilian diminishes.

The Vinicius-Xabi Alonso duo under scrutiny
The relationship between Vinicius and Xabi Alonso has been turbulent. Since the coach took over, the Brazilian has been substituted in numerous matches, fueling a tense atmosphere.
Alonso argues that rotation is part of a collective plan, but the player's gestures convey a different reality. The club questions his commitment to the coach's philosophy.
Beyond the Clásico, the management perceives a certain competitive wear and tear in Vinicius, who in previous seasons was a key player under a different scheme.
The sports context and challenge for Vinicius
Vinicius faces a significant challenge: to regain prominence by accepting internal rules, rotations, and defensive demands at Real Madrid.
Since the start of the season, the club has bolstered the offensive squad, intensifying competition for the Brazilian.
Real Madrid needs Vinicius to understand that his role now depends not only on individual talent but also on the collective balance imposed by Alonso.
If the forward can internalize tactical demands and maintain the explosiveness that made him a sensation, he has a path to continue. Otherwise, the exit door will be within close reach.
Ultimately, Vinicius is at a pivotal moment with Real Madrid. The club has issued an ultimatum after the Clásico episode, and his continuity now hinges on committing to the project or facing a future away from the white shirt.
