Vinicius created 'chaos'.

Vinicius Jr was reportedly injured but still played for Real Madrid in their 3-4 defeat against Barcelona in La Liga's 35th round on May 11th.

The incident occurred in the 75th minute at the Olímpic Lluís Companys stadium (Barcelona), when Vinicius felt unwell and requested a substitution. Coach Carlo Ancelotti immediately called Endrick to warm up and prepare to come on as a replacement. However, while Endrick was waiting on the sidelines, Vinicius changed his mind and wanted to continue playing.

This decision forced Endrick to put his jacket back on and continue warming up. However, in the 88th minute, Vinicius again requested to leave the field due to pain in one leg. Ultimately, the Brazilian striker had to leave the field and was replaced by Víctor Munoz, a young striker from the Castilla team.

Before being substituted, Vinicius played hard and provided two assists for Kylian Mbappe's brace. The Brazilian striker also showed strong fighting spirit, trying to continue playing despite feeling discomfort in his leg. However, all his efforts proved futile as Real Madrid could not avoid a 3-4 defeat and their chances in the La Liga title race this year were over.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti shared an update on Vinicius's situation in the post-match press conference: "Vinicius didn't ask to be substituted himself; it was my decision. He had an ankle problem. Vinicius tried to continue, but the pain forced him to ask to leave the field."

Real Madrid's medical team will conduct a thorough examination of Vinicius on May 12th.
