The Brazilian star Offers Sincere Sorry to The Madrid Club Fans

Vinicius Jr in action

The attacker has scored 5 strikes in ten domestic competition outings during the current campaign.

Los Merengues forward Vinicius Jr has said sorry to the fanbase for his response when taken off in Sunday's heated Clasico clash victory.

The Brazilian was substituted in the 72nd min and displayed his frustration by walking immediately to the dressing room.

He eventually reappeared to the dugout and, after his club's narrow triumph, tried to confront Barça's opposing player during unsavoury final whistle incidents.

"This day I want to apologise to all the Real Madrid fans for my behavior when I was taken off in the derby," the player shared on X.

"Similarly to I have previously expressed during the latest session, I also want to say sorry once more to my teammates, the team, and the club president.

"Occasionally emotion takes over me because I continuously aim to win and support my side. My winning mentality stems from the passion I have for this institution and each thing it stands for."

The player signed for Madrid from Brazil in 2018 for £38.7m and has accumulated over a century of strikes in numerous matches.

But his career in the La Liga is uncertain with reports in recent months suggesting that the club would contemplate allowing the player depart if they obtained a appropriate bid.

When he was replaced on that day, TV coverage from coverage provider Dazn captured him remarking: "Again me! I'm departing the side! It's preferable if I go, I'm going."

In his new message on X, Vinicius stated: "I promise to keep battling constantly for the good of Los Blancos, as I have acted since the very beginning."
