Vinícius Júnior After the 4-0 Collapse to PSG…
The final whistle blew in the stadium, but the shockwaves are still echoing through Madrid — and no one looked more stunned than Vinícius Júnior.
The usually electrifying Brazilian winger, known for his fearless dribbling and confident swagger, was a shadow of himself. As PSG celebrated their dominant 4-0 victory in the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final, Vinícius trudged off the pitch with a blank expression — no emotion, no protest, no words. Just silence.
For a player who thrives on energy, expression, and passion, this muted reaction spoke volumes. Insiders say Vinícius looked “disconnected from reality” — both during the match and after. He barely tracked back, his decision-making was off, and when he did get the ball, there was no spark, no magic.
What made things worse? His teammates noticed. Reports are surfacing that several Madrid players — including senior figures like Mbappé and Bellingham — are growing increasingly frustrated with Vinícius. Some even claim they “don’t want to play with him anymore” if this trend continues.
Critics point to a growing attitude problem: a sense of entitlement, isolation in the locker room, and refusal to take responsibility when things go south. Fans online have echoed the same sentiments, with many calling for Vinícius to be benched or even transferred if he doesn’t turn things around.
Florentino Pérez is expected to hold a high-level meeting with Xabi Alonso and the technical staff in the coming days to assess not just the defeat — but the future of certain players. Vinícius, once seen as the future of the club, may now find himself in a very different conversation.
This wasn’t just a bad night for Real Madrid — it could mark a turning point in Vinícius Júnior’s career at the club.
