Vinicius Jr. has once again faced criticism during Real Madrid’s contest against Leganes.
- Despite playing a crucial role, the Brazilian forward’s night was marred by questionable actions.
- He played in a more central position to allow Kylian Mbappe to occupy the left wing, creating a wonderful assist for the Frenchman.
- Referee Alberola Rojas rejected all penalty calls, despite Vini being involved in several incidents and diving in the box three times.
- VAR chose not to intervene, as the actions were deemed not worthy of a second look.
- According to Madrid Universal, tensions on the pitch increased due to Vinicius’ constant protests and gestures, irritating the Leganes defenders.
- The player seemed to spend more time pleading for rulings than focusing on his game, undermining his poise and concentration.
- After a second penalty appeal, Vinicius had a minor argument with Leganes players, leading to a yellow card warning from the referee.
- His behavior annoyed fans in the stadium, adding to the tension in the air.
- Nevertheless, he contributed to Real Madrid’s first goal despite the drama.
