Marca: Mourinho's patience with Vinicius is running out

Spanish newspaper Marca reported that Real Madrid’s coaching staff has reached the limit of its patience with Brazilian star Vinícius Júnior, which could lead to him losing his place in the starting lineup in upcoming matches. According to the paper, the coaching staff was dissatisfied with Vinícius’s recent performance, a factor that influenced their tactical decisions in recent games. During the Madrid derby against Atlético Madrid, the manager decided to substitute the Brazilian star in the 54th minute, despite Real Madrid’s need for his attacking capabilities, while Kylian Mbappé remained on the field until the final whistle. Vinícius has played eight official matches for Real Madrid this season, scoring one goal and providing three assists—figures that place him under pressure, especially given the disparity in goal output compared to Mbappé.
