JAKARTA - Vinicius Junior has apologized to Real Madrid supporters for his reaction when he was replaced in El Clasico's match against Barcelona, Sunday, October 26, 2025.
ESPN previously reported that Vinicius had decided to apologize for his actions. The Brazilian later said in a post on social media that he regretted his actions.
The attacker was pulled out by Manager Xabi Alonso in the 72nd minute in a 2-1 win at Bernabeu - replaced by Rodrygo - and responded angrily, moved his hands and shouted repeatedly when he left the field, and went straight to the dressing room.

ESPN said that the relationship between Alonso and Vinicius had deteriorated. The two of them will also discuss the issue so as not to drag on.
"Today I would like to apologize to all Real Madrid supporters for my reaction when he was replaced at El Clasico."
"As I did directly in today's training session, I would also like to apologize once again to my teammates, the club and the president."
"Sometimes my desire to beat me. I always want to win and help my team. My competitive nature stems from my love for this club and everything it represents."
"I promise to keep fighting every second for the good of Real Madrid, as I have done from day one," Vin totaled in an upload on X.
Alonso has crossed out Vin Maricius three times from starting XI so far this season. Meanwhile, talks with the club over a new contract for the player have stalled in recent months.
Furthermore, ESPN said that the club would not punish Vinicius for what happened even though a club spokesman did not want to comment saying that disciplinary matters would remain an internal matter.
"We'll talk about it later. I don't want to distract from important things. Vini has contributed a lot," Alonso said after the match against Barcelona about Vinicius' reaction.
Vinicius has scored five goals and provided four assists at LaLiga this season, as he has improved his performance over the past month.
After raging on the pitch in the El Clasico match, Vinicius then returned to the bench and got into a fight with Barcelona players which resulted in the referee removing five yellow cards - including for Vinicius - and a red card for Andriy Lunin.
"Messages for all Madridistas, especially those who come to Bernabeu and support us. El Clasico is like that, there are a lot of things that happen on and off the pitch."
"We try to maintain a balance, but that's not always possible. We know that when we step onto the pitch, we have to defend our team, and that's what happened today," Vinicius said after the game.
