A shush and a protest — Vinicius Junior
The forward was subjected to verbal abuse from the stands, prompting him to respond with a 'shush' gesture aimed at silencing the home crowd. His reaction highlights the growing tension and anger he feels about the continuous abuse.
Adding to his frustration, Vinicius has made bold statements suggesting that the 2030 World Cup should be moved from Spain unless significant changes are made to address the racism issue.
This stance has not been well received by some Spanish fans, further amplifying the noise around him. According to journalist Tono García, from El Larguero, those close to Vinicius say he is "fed up" with the persistent negativity and misinformation surrounding him.
García reported that Vinicius is particularly irked by false narratives, especially those about his relationship with Kylian Mbappe. "He gets very angry with that because they talk about a bad relationship, and it’s actually the opposite. They celebrate together, and they understand each other perfectly," García revealed.
Despite the off-field turmoil, Vinicius continues to deliver on the pitch, with two goals and three assists in six La Liga matches. Real Madrid fans will be hoping he can maintain his focus as the team prepares to kick off their Champions League campaign against Stuttgart on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu.
As Vinicius battles through the challenges off the field, his performances on it remain a shining light for Real Madrid. The hope is that his talent and resilience will help him rise above adversity and continue to make an impact for Los Blancos.
