Vinicius Junior is undoubtedly one of Real Madrid's most important players, although he is not as nailed down as he – and many others – thought. This was confirmed on Sunday during the Spanish Super Cup final when he was taken off after 76 minutes, despite Los Blancos needing three goals against Barcelona's ten men.
Ancelotti's decision did not go down well with Vinicius and his entourage, who expressed their frustration. Real Madrid is aware of this and this has led to increased tensions between the two parties, Diario AS reports.
Relations between Real Madrid and Vinicius have been largely excellent, especially this season after the club stood behind their player by not attending the Ballon d'Or ceremony when they learned he would not win the 2024 award. However, a seed of doubt has now been planted, which is not necessary given the interest from Saudi Arabia in the Brazilian superstar.
