The Brazilian star Issues Apology to Los Blancos Fans
The forward has registered 5 goals in 10 La Liga outings during the current campaign.
Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr has said sorry to supporters for his reaction when substituted in the recent intense El Clasico triumph.
Vinicius was taken off in the 72nd min and showed his annoyance by going straight down the tunnel.
He subsequently came back to the sidelines and, following his side's 2-1 victory, tried to confront Barça's youngster Yamal during contentious post-match exchanges.
"This day I want to apologise to all the Madridistas for my response when I was substituted in the big match," he wrote on X.
"Just as I have said in person during this morning's session, I also want to express regret anew to my team-mates, the club, and the leadership.
"Sometimes fervor gets the better of me because I always want to triumph and help my club. My competitive character stems from the affection I have for this institution and all it symbolizes."
He signed for Madrid from Flamengo in recent years for millions and has scored triple figures in 335 appearances.
But his prospects in the La Liga is unclear with rumors in the past few months indicating that Los Blancos would consider letting the player move on if they were to receive a good proposal.
When Vinicius was substituted on that day, broadcast footage from network the platform picked him up remarking: "Always me! I'm departing the side! It's better if I go, I'm leaving."
In his most recent message on social media, Vinicius commented: "I promise to keep battling at all times for the good of the club, as I have done since the initial arrival."
