Vinicius Jr ‘didn’t want to offend’ in Clasico clash

After winning Sunday’s El Clasico, Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr. claimed he “didn’t want to offend anyone.”

The 25-year-old Brazil forward went straight down the tunnel after complaining that he was substituted in the 72nd minute.

After his team won 2-1, he attempted to confront Barcelona’s 18-year-old winger Lamine Yamal during unpleasant post-game scenes and made his way back to the Real bench.

Andriy Lunin, Real’s substitute goalkeeper, received a red card while Vinicius was one of the five players who had been charged with their part in the incident.

Vinicius claimed on Real Madrid TV that “El Clasico is like that.” On and off the pitch, there are many things going on and off.

We try to maintain a certain level of balance, but it’s not always possible. Not the fans or the Barca players, neither did we want to offend anyone.

“We are aware that when we enter the stadium, we must defend our side,” he said.

Lamine Yamal had angered the Real players by declaring last week that they would “steal” and “complain.”

In recent months, there have been numerous reports that Los Blancos would consider letting Vinicius leave if they had received an appropriate offer.

The Fifa Best Men’s Player of the Year will have a year left on his contract at the end of the current season, but negotiations over a new deal have stalled.

Vinicius was substituted on Sunday when broadcaster Dazn caught her saying, “Always me! I’m resigning from the team! If I leave, I’m leaving, so it’s better.

Real coach Xabi Alonso responded, “I concentrate on a lot of positive things in the game, and positive things from Vini. Of course, we’ll talk about [his reaction].

Alonso remarked about the altercations that occurred after the final whistle: “I interpret it with normality.” There isn’t need for us to use it excessively.
