Vinicius and Alonso's relationship broke down

The internal storm continues to engulf the Santiago Bernabeu as the relationship between Vinicius Junior and coach Xabi Alonso is said to have "completely broken down".

Vinicius is said to be in rebellion.

According to El Pais , the Brazilian striker is frustrated with the way Alonso plays and is seriously considering leaving Real Madrid after less than a season working with the Spaniard. The relationship between the two sides is described as "irreparable".

This is one of the biggest crises for "Los Blancos" since Alonso took over in May 2025. Immediately after the 0-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League, Football Espana said Vinicius criticized Alonso's tactics for lacking boldness.

“Vinicius is bored playing in Alonso’s current system,” an unnamed source revealed. Real Madrid created just one clear chance and two shots on target against Liverpool, reflecting a lack of creativity that Vinicius believes is the main reason.

The origins of the conflict between coach Alonso and Vinicius have been simmering since the summer. ESPN and Cadena SER revealed that tensions erupted as early as the FIFA Club World Cup semi-final in July 2025, when Alonso planned to bench Vinicius against PSG. Only thanks to Trent Alexander-Arnold's injury, he was retained in the starting line-up.

In the El Clasico on 26 October, Vinicius was replaced in the 72nd minute by Rodrygo, leading to an angry reaction. He argued with Alonso on the sidelines, then rushed straight down the tunnel and muttered: "It's always me! I'm leaving this team."
