Vinicius is going through his first moment of tension with the Santiago Bernabéu just a month after renewing as a Real Madrid player until 2032. The Brazilian was whistled by the crowd during and after the 2-1 victory against Inter, while José Mourinho publicly defended him after the match.

The situation comes after a summer in which the future of the 26-year-old player was a major focus at the club. On August 6, Real Madrid definitively closed the deal with an extension until June 30, 2032, as his previous contract was set to end in 2027.

Vinicius hears the first whistles at the Bernabéu

The match against Inter once again left Vinicius without direct involvement in the goals. Kylian Mbappé and Fede Valverde scored for Mourinho's team, while Carlos Augusto scored for Inter in the second half, setting the final 2-1 result.

According to Sport, the discontent of the crowd grew as the match progressed. The Brazilian was part of various attacks but failed to finish and did not score or assist. His defensive work was highlighted: he ended the game with nine recoveries, a stat that Mourinho later used to praise his effort.

The highest tension point came towards the end. With Inter pushing for an equalizer and Madrid unable to seal the game, a wasted offensive play led to new whistles directed at the player. The score remained at 2-1, and the Bernabéu demanded more efficiency in the final third.

Mourinho decided to substitute him in the 87th minute. Part of the stadium whistled as he left the field, while another section responded with applause. Vinicius clapped back at the crowd, and the Portuguese coach immediately approached to support him before reaching the bench.

José Mourinho protects Vinicius after Real Madrid-Inter

José Mourinho avoided publicly confronting the fans after the match, but made it clear he still trusts the attacker. The coach admitted that Vinicius is not yet at his best and mentioned he continues working to regain the disruption he usually creates in one-on-one situations.

The coach especially emphasized his collective involvement. For Mourinho, as long as Vinicius maintains that level of team effort, he will have his support. The Portuguese's response, for now, shifts the debate to the player's performance rather than a potential loss of confidence within the squad.

Pressure also mounts due to the new contract. Real Madrid has just secured his continuity for another six seasons, ending months of uncertainty about his future. Since arriving in 2018, Vinicius has played 375 matches and scored 128 goals for the club, winning 14 titles, including two Champions Leagues and three LaLiga championships.

The response will need to come on the field for Vinicius. The new contract puts his performance under the spotlight at the start of the season. The whistles against Inter indicate that a part of the Bernabéu expects an immediate response after the renewal and that the margin given by the fans has shrunk.

Vinicius' next step will be to regain consistency in the upcoming LaLiga and Champions League matches. Mourinho has publicly stated his position: he will continue backing him as long as he maintains his collective commitment, but it will be the Brazilian's offensive performance that determines whether the Bernabéu jeers remain an isolated incident or become a recurring issue.
