Things are rumbling at the White House. On Saturday, Real Madrid won against Sevilla (2-0), but without really reassuring. The Merengue had to rely on Jude Bellingham, scorer in the first period, and Kylian Mbappé, decisive from the penalty spot and now equal to Cristiano Ronaldo in the number of goals scored in a calendar year with Real.
Despite the victory, the Bernabéu was not convinced. The whistles came down several times from the stands, the public judging the performance of Xabi Alonso’s men too poor in content. Vinicius Jr notably paid the price, being heavily booed when he left in the 83rd minute.

Vinicius’ response
Visibly affected, the Brazilian striker did not explode on the pitch, but sent a meaningful message after the match. On his social networks, Vinicius published several photos of the match accompanied by a simple caption: “…”. Even more disturbing, he deleted his profile photo with the Real Madrid jersey, replacing it with a photo in the colors of Brazil.
A gesture that did not go unnoticed in Spain. “We have again seen that he is clearly not appreciated by a large part of the Bernabéu”analyze Brandwhich adds: “The Bernabéu is getting tired of Vinicius Jr”. Under contract until 2027 and still without extension, the 25-year-old winger is going through a period of repeated tensions with the supporters, his coach and, more broadly, his club. Enough to raise questions about his future in Madrid.
