Spanish newspaper Marca confirms that Brazilian star Vinicius Junior still feels hurt about losing the Ballon d'Or award to Manchester City player Rodri back on October 28. The Real Madrid winger has not bounced back from that crushing disappointment. His teammates and fans have noticed major changes in his attitude and playing style since that day happened.
Vinicius lost his magic touch and the happiness that made him special on the field. Real Madrid supporters expect to see him light up games with his skills and energy. His recent showing at the 2025 Club World Cup in America proved how much he has struggled. The Brazilian played terribly against Saudi team Al Hilal and looked nothing like his usual self.
Marca compared his weak display to his brilliant game against Borussia Dortmund on October 22 when he dominated the match. His current form shows signs of anger and wild dribbling that worry Madrid fans. Coach Xabi Alonso wants the winger to calm down and make smarter passes during games. The manager believes Vinicius needs mental help more than football lessons right away.
The newspaper thinks bringing back the old Vinicius will solve Real Madrid's problems. He helped the team win the Champions League two times and scored goals in both finals. French striker Kylian Mbappe plays alongside him and might help restore his confidence. Getting Vinicius back to his best form could help Real Madrid chase every trophy this season.
