Former Chelsea player Craig Burley has criticized Real Madrid striker Vinicius for his behavior towards manager Xabi Alonso after the El Clásico triumph over Barcelona last weekend. Recall that Real Madrid overcame Barcelona 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabéu, due to goals from Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham. However, Vinicius demonstrated unsportsmanlike behaviour towards Alonso after being substituted in the 72nd minute of the contest. Although he eventually returned to the bench, the Brazilian international stormed off the field after venting his fury at the Real Madrid managerHowever, Burley was not happy with Vinicius’ treatment of Alonso and insisted that the player would never behave differently. Burley told ESPN FC, “As a player, it is challenging because sometimes you just cannot see the bigger picture, which is that Real Madrid needed fresh legs.” When your biggest rivals are still playing in a Clasico, you don’t walk down the tunnel. Yes, he returned outside. However, Xabi Alonso didn’t appear particularly happy about his antics before vanishing into thin air. “He needs to make do with this.” I don’t believe that this player will ever stop acting in this way.
