Real Madrid forward Vinícius Júnior apologized to everyone apart from manager Xabi Alonso in a statement which was meant to quell the controversy caused by his actions over the weekend but has only supported reports of widespread tension.
Vinícius stormed off in a strop when he was substituted during the second half of Sunday’s Clásico victory over Barcelona. The Brazilian was quoted as shouting: “Always me! I’m leaving the team! I’m leaving, I’d better go!”
