Relations Of Alonso And Vinicius Tend After El Clasico

Xabi Alonso reportedly cracked with Vinicius Junior (Instagram/@realmadrid).

JAKARTA - The relationship between Vinicius Junior and Xabi Alonso worsened after the attacker reacted angryly when he was replaced in El Clasico against Barcelona on Sunday, October 26, 2025.

According to ESPN reports, this condition has exacerbated the initial relationship since the arrival of Alonso, which has not included Vinicius from the core line-up three times.

He was not included in the core line-up against Real Oviedo and Getafe in LaLiga, as well as against Marseille in the Champions League.

No wonder Vinicius looked annoyed with Alonso's decision to replace him with Rodrygo in the 72nd minute at the Santiago Bernabeu, when Real Madrid took a 2-1 lead, and questioned the decision before heading straight for the tunnel.

ESPN previously reported that Vinicius' camp felt the coach did not like the player. Talks about a new contract - with the Brazilian player's contract valid until 2027 - have also been stalled in recent months.

As a result, the relationship between Alonso and Vinicius did not worsen, but was broken.

Vinicius plans to talk to his Real Madrid teammates about the situation before meeting Alonso in person.

Real Madrid players have a break two days after El Clasico's win and will return to training on Wednesday, October 29, 2025.

Meanwhile, in a press conference after Sunday's game, Alonso confirmed that he plans to talk to Vinicius about his reaction after being replaced.

"I will focus on a lot of positive things in this match and Vini's good things. Of course we will talk about ( Vini's actions), but I don't want to distract from really important things," said Alonso.

Vinicius has scored five goals in LaLiga this season plus four assists.
