Vinicius Junior in the clear over El Clasico outburst


Vinicius Junior in the clear over El Clasico outburst

Vinicius Junior will face no disciplinary action for his El Clasico substitution outburst, Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso revealed on Friday.

The Brazilian remonstrated with Alonso and marched off down the tunnel after he was hauled off in the 72nd minute in last weekend's tense 2-1 win over Madrid's arch-rival, Barcelona.

The 25-year-old player issued an apology to Real fans, his teammates, the club, and president Florentino Perez -- but pointedly not to Alonso -- in midweek.

But the Real manager assured Vinicius the affair was "over".

He told a press conference on the eve of Valencia's visit in La Liga: "On Wednesday, we had a meeting with all the staff, players, and Vinicius gave an impeccable speech.

"He spoke sincerely, from the heart. For me, this matter has been closed since Wednesday."

Alonso said there would be no "reprisals" against the Brazilian forward.

He added: "We are all in the same boat and rowing in the same direction.

"I think the whole team is focused on the field, which is the most important thing.

"We are competitors; all players want to be on the pitch, and that's a good thing. Now, we want to keep moving forward towards our goals, one match at a time."

The Vinicius flashpoint arises amid ongoing negotiations over a new contract, although his current deal does not expire until 2027.

He has weighed in with five goals this season in La Liga, although he has been replaced as the main man in the Real squad by Kylian Mbappe, with the Frenchman on 16 goals in 13 appearances in all competitions so far -- after scoring 44 in all competitions in his first season at the club.

Real sits top of La Liga on 27 points, five clear of Barca, and hosts struggling Valencia on Saturday.
