"Today I want to apologise to all Madrid fans for my reaction to being substituted in El Clásico,"
"Just as I did in person during today's training session, I also want to apologise again to my teammates, the club, and the president."
"Sometimes my passion gets the better of me; I always want to win and help my team. My competitive nature stems from the love I feel for this club, and everything it represents."
"I promise to keep fighting every second for the good of Real Madrid, as I have done since day one."
Vinícius Júnior apologised for his angry reaction after being substituted in the 72nd minute of Real Madrid's 2-1 LaLiga win over Barcelona, when he was replaced by Rodrygo and headed straight to the dressing room while gesturing and shouting. The player repeated his apology in person at training and to fans, teammates, the club and the president, saying his passion can get the better of him and that he will continue to fight for the team. Reports indicate his relationship with coach Xabi Alonso has deteriorated, contract talks have stalled, and the club will handle any disciplinary matters internally.
