After Real Madrid’s defeat to Mallorca, the gap between the leaders FC Barcelona has extended to 8 points.Carlo Ancelotti was frustrated by Mallorca’s defense as they fouled Vinicius 10 times which a highest tally for a Real Madrid player. Real Madrid was not up to the task since they were without Karim Benzema up front, and Marco Asensio missed the penalty.

“Vinicius is the victim of something I don’t understand; it’s a problem with Spanish football that must be solved,'” stated Carlo Ancelotti after the match. “The referee forgot about the repetitions of fouls. It’s a yellow card if a foul is repeated, repeated, and repeated again, but we came out with two cards at halftime, and Mallorca with zero,” he said to AS. The defense targeted Vinicius, and Ancelotti defended him for the criticism he faced.

Vinicius kissed the badge while going into the tunnel after half-time, and Anotnio Raillo did the same, but he wanted Vinicius to kiss the Mallorca badge. They have now failed to score in two of their previous three games, and they did not have a single attempt on target against Mallorca except for the missed penalty. Real Madrid will now turn their attention to Wednesday’s Club World Cup semi-final against Al Ahly.

Vinicius Jr. is always in the headline on and off the pitch while he is having a mediocre season. Vinicius Jr. has decided he wants to end his deal with Nike. He partnered with Nike in 2013 and extended his contract until 2028.

Vinicius donned black boots against Valencia and Nike boots in the second half to oppose them. Vinicius has been upset with Nike since he is not included in the company’s major advertisements and is not the centre of attention like Ronaldo. He also cannot appear in Real Madrid advertisements since a competitor brand sponsors them. Vinicius is considering relocating to Puma.
