Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr has apologised to supporters for his reaction to being substituted in Sunday’s fiery El Clasico win against Barcelona.
The Brazilian was taken off in the 72nd minute and expressed his frustration by going straight down the tunnel.
Vinicius later returned to the bench and, after his side’s 2-1 win, tried to confront Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal during unsavoury post-match scenes.
“Today I want to apologise to all the Madridistas for my reaction when I was substituted in the Clasico,” he posted on X.
When Vinicius was substituted on Sunday, cameras from broadcaster Dazn picked him up saying: “Always me! I’m leaving the team! It’s better if I leave, I’m leaving.”
