Vini Jr Laments How He Is Been Treated At Madrid After comfortable win over Monaco
Real Madrid star winger Vini Jr has spoken candidly about the emotional challenges he’s faced recently with fans’ reactions at the Santiago Bernabéu — even after a standout performance in the UEFA Champions League.
The Brazilian forward, who has been one of Real’s most electrifying attackers in recent years, revealed that the boos and criticism from supporters have weighed heavily on him, even in a season where he has delivered moments of brilliance.
The 25-year-old, who starred in Real Madrid’s 6-1 victory over AS Monaco in the Champions League, admitted that the way parts of the home crowd have treated him “makes me very sad.
” Despite his outstanding night — where he scored, provided assists, and was named man of the match — Vini Jr reflected on a difficult spell that has tested both his confidence and his connection with fans.
“I don’t want to be booed at home, where I feel comfortable,” Vinícius told TNT Sports after the Monaco game. “In the last few games, I didn’t feel comfortable because whenever I made a mistake or didn’t perform perfectly, I was booed.
” He added that while he understands supporters “pay very expensive tickets” and have the right to express frustration, the reaction stings because of his deep affection for the club.
Fan Jeers at Bernabéu: A Painful Reality
Parts of the Real Madrid fanbase have reacted strongly to the team’s inconsistent form this season.
In recent matches — especially a La Liga game against Levante — Vinícius was met with whistles and boos even before kickoff, drawing attention from media and criticism alike.
This marked a stark contrast to the adoration he enjoyed during his peak years, when he was regarded as the face of Real’s attack and a driving force behind Champions League victories.
Speaking about these reactions, Vinícius said, “I don’t understand it, but I’m here to keep evolving.
” He insisted that he will continue giving his all for Real Madrid, underlining that he wants to be remembered not for isolated moments of criticism but for the contributions he has made to the club’s success.
“I try to give everything for this shirt and the club that has given me so much,” he said.
Standing Strong After Stellar Performance
Despite the challenges off the pitch, Vinícius’s performance against Monaco reminded the football world of his exceptional ability.
In that match, he not only scored but also set up goals and played with the flair that once made him one of the most feared wingers in Europe.
The victory was one of Real Madrid’s most emphatic in the Champions League this season and signaled a much-needed boost in confidence for the squad.
His display resonated not just with fans but with teammates and pundits, helping silence some critics, at least temporarily.
And even though the boos still lingered in fans’ memories from earlier matches, the reaction after Monaco showed that when he performs at his best, he can still earn admiration from sections of the Bernabéu faithful.
Contract Situation and Long-Term Commitment
Off the field, there has been speculation about Vinícius’s future at the club, especially since his current contract has just over a year left to run.
But the winger made it clear that he is relaxed about the renewal situation and wants to stay at Real Madrid for the long term.
“I trust the president, he trusts me, and we have a very good relationship,” Vinícius said. “We will sort things out at the right time. No hurry.”
His remarks were an important message of unity at a moment when Real Madrid are navigating managerial changes and intense pressure from rival clubs in Spain and across Europe.
By publicly committing to the club, Vini Jr sought to reassure supporters that despite the ups and downs, his desire to wear the iconic white shirt remains strong.
Balance Between Pressure and Passion
Vinícius’s story this season reflects the broader reality of elite football: players are human beings under immense pressure in clubs with massive expectations.
Real Madrid is one of the most successful teams in the world, and its supporters expect excellence — but as Vinícius has shown, even top performers can feel the emotional toll when the relationship with fans becomes strained.
In the end, his message combined realism with resolve. “I want to stay here, I want to keep improving, and I want to help this club win more trophies,” he said.
For a player who has already won multiple Champions League titles and earned individual honours, Vinícius’s commitment could prove crucial in Real Madrid’s pursuit of future success.
