The relationship between Vinicius Junior and the Real Madrid fans is going through one of its most delicate episodes since the Brazilian arrived at the club. The match against Levante marked a turning point in this relationship, after the winger was harshly booed throughout the match at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The response from the crowd was not an isolated incident. The striker had been questioned in previous matches for his behavior on the pitch and for his influence in a dressing room shaken after the departure of Xabi Alonso. However, against Levante, the accumulated discontent finally exploded.

A whistle for Vinicius that began before kick-off

The punishment from the fans began even before kick-off. During the announcement of the line-ups, Vinicius' name was not accompanied by the usual applause or chants, but by a loud booing that showed the distance with the stands, as captured by the cameras of Real Madrid Television.

From that moment on, every contact the Brazilian had with the ball was marked by constant whistling. The atmosphere became suffocating around the third captain of the team, who tried to reverse the situation when the score was already 2-0, looking for a goal that would allow him to reconcile with the fans. However, his imprecision in front of goal only fueled the crowd's anger.

A gesture that symbolises the break between the fans and Vini

At the end of the match, Vinicius left the field immediately, running to the dressing room without greeting his teammates or opponents. This gesture clearly reflected the critical moment he is going through in his relationship with the Bernabeu and many interpret it as a turning point in his time as a Real Madrid player.

For some of the fans, the winger is one of the main culprits in the wear and tear that eventually led to Xabi Alonso's departure, a fact that has not gone unnoticed by the crowd.

Arbeloa determined to recover his star

In this difficult context, the new coach Alvaro Arbeloa has come out in defense of the Brazilian. The coach considers it key to recover the best version of Vinicius and trusts in his competitive character to reverse the situation.

"I'm going to work to get the best out of Vinicius. He is a player with character, without fear, who has defended this club and is one of the most unbalancing players in the world," said Arbeloa, who believes that the winger can still be decisive in winning titles.

Vinicius' renewal blocked and future uncertain at Real Madrid

Despite institutional support, Vinicius' future remains uncertain. His renewal continues to stall due to salary differences between the player's demands and the club's offer. This is compounded by several recent controversies, such as his reaction on social media after being booed at the end of last season, when he removed his image in the Real Madrid shirt.

Today, the reality is clear: the distance between Vinicius and the Bernabeu fans continues to grow, and reconciliation seems increasingly distant while his attitude continues to fail to convince the crowd.
