Vinicius will not face formal punishment from Real Madrid over Clásico outburst

Real Madrid will not impose any formal punishment on Vinicius Junior after the forward left the field visibly frustrated when Xabi Alonso decided to substitute him during the second half of Sunday’s El Clásico against Barcelona, which ended in a 2-1 win for Los Blancos, according to MARCA.

The report adds that Alonso plans to speak with Vinicius when the team returns to training on Wednesday. The club values the fact that the Brazilian eventually returned to the bench, rejoined his teammates, and celebrated the hard-fought victory at the final whistle. Inside the dressing room, there’s a shared belief that his emotional reaction came from competitiveness and passion, not from any form of disrespect toward his coach or teammates.

Sources from MARCA indicate that Real Madrid expect Vinicius to channel that same intensity in a positive way moving forward, understanding that emotional control is essential for a player who represents the biggest club in world football.
