Real Madrid will not discipline Vinicius Junior after the Brazilian forward displayed visible frustration when substituted in the 72nd minute of their 2-1 Clasico victory over Barcelona at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Cadena SER radio reports club officials prefer manager Xabi Alonso to handle the situation internally through direct conversation with the player rather than administrative action. The 24-year-old left the field visibly upset after his withdrawal in the 10th round La Liga fixture.
Alonso addressed the incident briefly at his post-match news conference by stating the team would discuss such matters privately in the dressing room. The club has placed full authority with the Spanish manager to resolve the matter without executive involvement. Management views the episode as requiring personal dialogue between the coach and the player to move forward from the contentious substitution.
