- After being substituted in the 72nd minute, Vinicius went straight down the tunnel and reportedly indicated that he would leave Real Madrid.
- Gabi, the former Real Zaragoza coach and ex-Atletico Madrid captain, called Vinicius’ conduct unacceptable and egocentric and urged Alonso to intervene.
- ESPN reported that Real Madrid does not plan a formal punishment, while reports said Alonso’s relationship with Vinicius had been affected and contract talks had stalled amid speculation he may leave.
- Alonso publicly described the substitution as a normal management decision, citing the need for fresh players to maintain control and praising Vinicius’ performance.
What would I have done after the Clasico? After the match, you have to talk to him. You can't just let it go and have him issue a statement and not apologise to the coach. It's unacceptable and egocentric.— Gabi said on Cadena SER
