Following Real Madrid's 2-0 victory over Sevilla in La Liga's 17th round, which took place in the early hours of December 21st, many fans noticed that Vinicius's personal account had changed its profile picture. The Brazilian striker unexpectedly deleted the image of himself in a Real Madrid jersey and replaced it with a picture of himself wearing the Brazil national team jersey.

Not stopping there, Vinicius also posted a status update consisting of just three dots "...", brief but full of hidden meaning, leaving fans and the media constantly speculating.

According to AS , this is seen as Vinicius's response to the wave of criticism from Real Madrid fans after the match against Sevilla. In that game, Vinicius was judged to have played half-heartedly and ineffectively. When Vinicius left the field as a substitute, the Bernabeu stands erupted with many whistles directed at him.

Throughout his journey off the pitch, Vinicius showed no reaction, his face expressionless. Only when he reached the technical area did he give a hug to coach Xabi Alonso.

Marca suggests that the strong reaction from Real Madrid fans stems from several reasons. Part of it is due to Vinicius's perceived lack of enthusiasm in recent matches.

More importantly, the Brazilian striker's form is clearly declining as he has gone 17 consecutive games without scoring, across all competitions at both club and national team levels.

The moment Real Madrid fans booed Vinicius en masse showed that the star is seriously losing favor and raised big questions about his future at the Bernabeu.

Vinicius's redeeming goal couldn't save Real Madrid. In the early hours of April 6th, Real Madrid lost 1-2 to Valencia at home in the 30th round of La Liga.
