In LaLiga Matchday 8, Real Madrid faced Villarreal. Before the match, Real Madrid announced their starting lineup, with Jean-Clair Todibo starting and Vinicius on the bench.

Vinicius renewed his contract with Real Madrid on a lucrative deal through 2032 during the summer transfer window. However, his form has deteriorated significantly this season. In the first eight matches, Vinicius started in every game, playing 652 minutes, but managed only 1 goal and 3 assists. Due to his altered appearance, absurd rumors have circulated online suggesting Vinicius has been replaced by a body double.

Last season, Vinicius played 53 matches for Real Madrid, scoring 22 goals and providing 14 assists, with only 5 games not starting. His last appearance as a substitute for Real Madrid came in an away match against Mallorca in Matchday 30 of last season.
