During the most untempered afternoon in Real Madrid’s recent history, the stands at the Santiago Bernabéu singled out Vinícius Júnior as the main culprit for what is happening to the team, alongside Florentino. At the moment when the Brazilian was named when presenting the line-up, 83 decibels were recorded, the biggest noise of the white headlines, surpassing the booing dedicated to Jude Bellingham, who preceded him and who was also heavily punished by the Madrid stands.
