Vinicius Breaks His Silence After El Clásico and Fires Back at Lamine Yamal: “Off the pitch…”
Vinicius Junior has spoken following Real Madrid’s victory over Barcelona, sending a message to the fans — and a subtle jab at Lamine Yamal after their tense on-field exchanges during El Clásico.
The Brazilian forward, who clashed several times with the young Barça star, was clearly referring to the build-up to the game, marked by Yamal’s controversial remarks earlier in the week.
“A message to all Madridistas, especially those who came to the Bernabéu and supported us so much. That’s what El Clásico is all about — a lot happens both on and off the pitch. We try to stay calm, but it’s not always possible. We don’t want to offend anyone — not the youngsters, not the fans. We know that when we step on the pitch, we must give everything — and today, we did. Hala Madrid,” said Vinicius after the game.
His words were well received by Madrid supporters. Despite showing frustration when he was substituted, the club emphasizes that his overall performance was excellent — one of the team’s best. Xabi Alonso has already said he’ll speak privately with the forward about controlling his gestures, but there’s no doubt about his growing form.
Back to his best
The coaching staff is pleased to see Vinicius returning to top form. After a somewhat inconsistent start to the season, the winger is now showing the electric version fans adore. He relentlessly attacked down the left flank, giving Jules Koundé a nightmare afternoon, beating him on several occasions.
The objective now is to keep this momentum. His teammates benefit greatly from his energy and creativity, and his partnership with Kylian Mbappé is becoming increasingly dangerous.
Future secure
Within the club, there are no doubts: Vinicius is considered one of the best players in the world. His contract runs until 2027, and both parties are expected to reach a new agreement soon. Florentino Pérez and the player’s representatives remain in contact, and there’s optimism about a long-term renewal.
Madrid fans want to keep enjoying him for many years to come. He arrived at the club as an 18-year-old and is now 25 — after years of criticism and challenges, he has emerged stronger than ever. For many Madridistas, Vinicius Junior has become not only a star but an example of resilience and passion.
