Vinicius Jr, the Real Madrid forward, has issued a public apology for his outburst during El Clásico but didn’t mention coach Xabi Alonso.

The incident occurred after Vinicius got substituted in the 72nd minute of the match, which Real Madrid won 2-1 against Barcelona. He shouted to the manager that he wanted to leave the team, showing frustration and strong emotion. In his statement, he apologized to the fans, teammates, the club, and the president, emphasizing that his reaction reflected his passion and competitive nature. Vinicius explained that sometimes his passion gets the better of him, and he always wants to win and support his team. He described his love for Real Madrid and his commitment to fighting for the club in every match. Although he expressed regret for his behavior, he maintained that his competitive attitude comes from dedication and loyalty to the team, rather than personal resentment toward anyone. This incident highlights the pressures elite athletes face during high-profile matches.
