Xabi Alonso and Vinicius Junior had a conflict after a match with Barcelona, but the press reports that the two made up in time for the trip to Olympiakos.

The atmosphere at Real Madrid has been tense in recent months, despite the team's good results. A notable conflict arose between Xabi Alonso and Vinicius Junior after the coach decided to substitute the Brazilian in the match against Barcelona. Vinicius had an exaggerated reaction and did not apologize afterward, which led to speculation in the Spanish press about Alonso losing the dressing room and his possible replacement. However, it was recently reported that the two had a discussion during the trip to Olympiakos, where they managed to bury the hatchet. In the match against Bilbao, Vinicius was substituted again, but this time he embraced Alonso, a sign that their relationship has improved.
