Real Madrid lost more ground in the La Liga title race on Saturday when they were beaten 2-1 by Valencia, and Fingered was pointed out in the method of defeat and in particular one player has taken a significant part of the debt: Vinicius Junior.
Although he scored the only goal of Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabeu, Vinicius missed a crucial penalty when it was 0-0 in the first half. And on the back of this, some of his own supporters could stand him.
As reported by Marca, audible whistles aimed at Vinicius were heard during the match against Valencia. He was the target from the first time he lost the ball, with the big reaction when Giorgi Mhamardashvili denied him 12 meters – and although it was not an important situation, it was one that caused murmur.
It is not the first time that Vinicius has evoked a negative reaction of that associated with Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti, Jude Bellingham and Luka Modric all have shown frustration with the Brazilian superstar for the entire season at different times, but this seems the first time that the supporters are focusing on the 24-year-old.
The last few months were difficult for Vinicius because his shape took a dip – especially in La Liga. The pressure is built, and it is now on fever, while Real Madrid is preparing to enter the most crucial period of the season, which starts with the first stage of their quarterfinals of the Champions League against Arsenal.
Vinicius will like to have a significant impact on the Premier League side, and his best versions are often saved for Champions League nights. Real Madrid will hope that this is the case on Tuesday, and also in the return bone on the Santiago Bernabeu eight days later.
