According to media reports, it appears that the dispute between Brazilian Real Madrid player Vinicius Jr. and his coach Xabi Alonso is close to being resolved.
Following Real Madrid’s 3–0 victory over Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday evening, Vinicius Jr. walked toward his coach and hugged him before leaving the pitch, a scene that reflected the closing of the chapter of disagreements between them.
According to the Spanish newspaper AS, this embrace carried clear indications that trust between the player and Alonso is being rebuilt after a period of tactical and personal tension.
The newspaper added that several factors contributed to this noticeable improvement in their relationship, most notably Alonso’s change of tactical formation from 4-3-3 to a 4-4-2 diamond, a system that gave the Brazilian winger more space to shine and integrate into the team’s structure.
The report concluded that Vinicius has recently felt reduced pressure and a restored sense of value in the dressing room.
This has been reflected in his performance over the last three matches, where he played in advanced attacking roles that allowed his skills to stand out more clearly.
The player now feels more freedom on the pitch and tells those close to him that he sees his future at Real Madrid and still hopes to extend his contract with the club in the near future.
Meanwhile, French star Kylian Mbappé continues to write new chapters of brilliance in a Real Madrid shirt, having raised his tally to 55 goals in 2025, leaving him just four goals away from the historic record set by Cristiano Ronaldo in 2013 with 59 goals.
With only five matches left for Real Madrid before the end of the year, Mbappé enters an intense race to break the record that has stood for more than a decade, according to the Spanish newspaper AS.
