"However, it has been a different week at the Santiago Bernabéu after a chaotic win over Barcelona was overshadowed by the antics of star winger Vinicius Jr. The Brazil international stormed off after being substituted in the 72nd minute and disappeared down the tunnel, rather than take his place on the bench. When he did return he promptly took a leading role in a post-match fracas involving several Madrid players and Barca's Lamine Yamal."
"Vinicius Jr has since apologised after a face-to-face meeting with Xabi Alonso on Wednesday, although, perhaps markedly, there was no confirmation of him saying sorry directly to the Real Madrid boss in either the statement or in Alonso's press conference this morning. It seems an uneasy truce, although the best way for their personal relationship to get back on track is by the player returning to the level he showed prior to his Ballon d'Or disappointment last year."
Following a chaotic Clasico win at the Santiago Bernabéu, Vinicius Jr stormed off after being substituted, went down the tunnel, then returned and participated in a post-match fracas involving several Madrid players and Barca's Lamine Yamal. Vinicius apologised after a face-to-face meeting with Xabi Alonso, but no official confirmation of a direct apology to the coach appeared in statements or the coach's press conference. The relationship appears strained and the quickest resolution is a return to form from the player. Xabi Alonso demanded full focus on the next match against relegation-zone Valencia. Valencia have not won in five La Liga games but beat Maracena 5-0 in the Copa del Rey.
