Real Madrid also lost the return of the “quarter” with Bayern Munich (3-4 / 1-2 in the round), after leading the table three times, and was eliminated from the competition.
Vinicius was far from his best form in the second leg with Bayern Munich. Except for the decisive assist on the 2-3 goal, by Kylyan Mbappe, the Brazilian did not do much.
Vinicius jr was extremely tense
Instead, he lost his temper several times. At one point in the first half, he fouled Joshua Kimmich, but referee Zlavko Vincic turned a blind eye, then his own teammate, Jude Bellingham.
According to the Movistar+ television station, quoted by the daily Marca, the cameras captured a conflict between the Real players, Vinicius jr and Jude Bellingham, in the second half.
Jude Bellingham had reproached Vinicius jr for not caring
Upamecano miscontrolled a ball, 'Vini' stormed into the box and Bellingham asked him to pass, but the Brazilian's poor touch allowed the Bayern defender to get back and clear the danger.
Immediately afterwards, the Englishman reproached him for not caring, which angered Vinicius, who snapped at him from a distance. “What do you want? Shut up,” the Brazilian can be heard yelling at his teammate.
UEFA statistics show that Vinicius jr didn't even give a pass to Jude Bellingham, the whole match!
And throughout the game, the two avoided each other as much as possible. According to the official data published by UEFA, Jude Bellingham passed Vinicius Junior only four times, while the Brazilian did not pass the Englishman at all.
“It was a difficult match for Vini, who tried to find spaces, given that he received few passes to his feet and relied more on long balls sent in front of his teammates. However, he got his revenge with the pass to Mbappe's goal, for 2-3″, Marca analyzed.
