Vinicius leaves out Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso’s name from apology after outburst at being subbed in El Clasico | Football News

Brazilian star Vinicius Junior blamed his “passion” and “competitive nature” for his outburst directed at Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso after being replaced in the El Clasico against Barcelona over the weekend. Vinicius also apologised for the incident. But what was interesting is that while he named the fans, the club president and teammates in his apology, he left out coach Alonso. “I want to apologize to all Madrid fans for my reaction after being substituted. Just as I already apologized in person during today’s training session, I also want to apologize again to my teammates, the club and the president,” the footballer posted on his X handle on Wednesday. The incident had happened in the 72nd minute of Madrid’s 2-1 league win over Barcelona on Sunday at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium when Alonso opted to take Vinicius off the pitch and send Rodrygo out instead.

Real Madrid Aim To Salvage Season One Last Time In La Liga El Clasico vs Barcelona

Real Madrid Aim To Salvage Season One Last Time In La Liga El Clasico vs Barcelona

Published by Webster

Real Madrid’s season appeared disastrous a few weeks ago but if Carlo Ancelotti’s side can finally beat rivals Barcelona in Sunday’s La Liga Clasico, their title defence will be resuscitated. Madrid were left licking their wounds after a Champions League quarter-final thrashing by Arsenal, and coach Ancelotti is poised to depart at the end of the season, but it could yet be with a major trophy in his hands. Barcelona’s European exit at the hands of Inter Milan on Tuesday brightened spirits in the Spanish capital and if Madrid can overhaul the Catalans at the top of the table, they could transform their season. The nature of Madrid’s rivalry with Barcelona means winning La Liga could either feel great or underwhelming, depending on how their nemesis fares in Europe. With Barcelona’s quadruple dream crushed by Inter, should Madrid defend their title they could even classify their season as a success. The Catalans, who currently lead by four points with four matches remaining, would be left with only the Copa del Rey and Spanish …

Real Madrid are set to lock horns with Barcelona in the final but the clash has been overshadowed by allegations of poor officiating by Ricardo de Burgos Bengoetxea, who will officiate in the match. Ahead of the match, Real Madrid TV highlighted what they felt were ‘mistakes’ involving de Burgos when he officiated in matches involving the club. The Spanish giants’ in-house channel claimed the club’s win rate was 64 under his refereeing while Barcelona had 81 percent success rate. The debate reached a stage where it was speculated that Real Madrid would boycott the final before the club confirmed they would take the field for the crucial clash.

Inside Saudi’s Own Version Of El Clasico: Crossing The Great Cultural Divide

Inside Saudi’s Own Version Of El Clasico: Crossing The Great Cultural Divide

Published by Webster

Only a handful of matches in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region get the juices flowing quite like the Saudi Clasico, featuring Al-Ittihad, the country’s oldest surviving football club, and Al-Hilal, the most decorated team in the Kingdom. I was fortunate enough to witness this rivalry on the Saudi Foundation Day celebrated every year on February 22. The Tigers, Al-Ittihad, represent the port city of Jeddah, while the Blue Waves, Al-Hilal, are based more than 1,000 km away in Riyadh, the capital of the Saudi Kingdom. “We (Jeddah) are for the people. They (Riyadh) represent the elites,” said Nawaf, an Ittihad fan who works as a security guard. These sentiments were echoed by each and every Ittihad fan that I came across. “Hilal is like Real Madrid. We win everything here so they are jealous of us,” said a member of the Al-Hilal Ultras, who chose not to reveal his identity. The rivalry between Ittihad and Hilal might not be as historic as the Old Firm Derby between Scottish giants Rangers …
