Real Madrid achieved a comeback against AS Roma during the second matchday of the UEFA Champions League, securing the victory with goals from Carlos Espí, Endrick, and Antonio Rüdiger in the final minutes.

The reaction of the team led by José Mourinho came after removing the winger Vinícius, 26 years old, from the field when the score was 3-1 against them, a situation that led journalist Tomás Roncero to publicly demand the player be benched.

Mou to the bench now Vinicius for God's sake. He's not there. Bernardo Silva, Guler, and Espí onto the field now.

Vinícius' Performance in the Match and Tomás Roncero's Demand from Mourinho

The performance of the 26-year-old attacker against the Italian side was recorded with 0 goals, 0 assists, 0 shots on target, 0 completed dribbles, 0 accurate crosses, 6 ball losses, and 1 direct error that led to an opposing goal. Faced with these figures, Tomás Roncero reacted on his official channels demanding a change in the starting lineup.

"Mou to the bench now Vinicius for God's sake. He's not there. Bernardo Silva, Guler, and Espí onto the field now," stated Tomás Roncero to request substitutes' entry in José Mourinho's rotation.

Vinícius' Substitution in Real Madrid for the Remainder of the Season

The poor performance shown by the Brazilian raises a dilemma for Real Madrid's planning in the decisive stretch of the 2026-2027 season. Within the club's environment, there is an evaluation if the recent disciplinary sanction of 4 matches in LaLiga has affected the player's performance, or if the effectiveness demonstrated by players like Carlos Espí, Arda Guler, and Endrick justifies a restructuring of the offensive trio.

José Mourinho will need to determine in the upcoming official commitments whether he maintains the winger's starting status or consolidates the new scheme outlined after the European victory.

Real Madrid's coaching staff will assess the team's physical condition during the training sessions in Valdebebas before the match on October 18th against Sevilla.

If the attacking alternatives maintain the goal-scoring volume displayed in the European comeback, Real Madrid's board will support José Mourinho's decisions regarding the attacker's minutes allocation.
