Real Madrid star faces criticism after laughing on bench

Real Madrid lost convincingly 4-0 to PSG in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup last Wednesday. A tough defeat that left several players feeling frustrated and suggests that Xabi Alonso's new project still has a long way to go to reach the level of the European giants, CE Report quotes Kosova Press.

One of those who stood out was Vinicius. In six games, he scored one goal and provided one assist. Real Madrid's number 7 was substituted in the match against PSG in the 65th minute in place of Brahim, and while on the bench, he left an image that Real Madrid fans did not like at all.

In the 82nd minute, with the score already 3-0 in favor of PSG, the Brazilian was caught on television talking to Camavinga and laughing on the bench, while the Frenchman had a serious expression after the result.

And the Brazilian is also making waves over whether or not he will stay at Real Madrid. Vini has a contract until 2027, but in recent weeks it has been reported that Real Madrid have made a proposal for a renewal, with only one signing remaining. However, there is no agreement on a renewal, as reported by fellow journalist Miguel Ángel Díaz.

Furthermore, sources close to the player indicate that since that match against PSG, he has not felt comfortable playing on the right.

For the match against the French team, coach Xabi Alonso decided to rely on Mbappé, Vinicius and Gonzalo in attack and chose the Brazilian on the right wing.

It remains to be seen how the Tolosa-born coach will react to the start of the new season, once the players' holidays are over.
