In the 16th round of La Liga, Real Madrid defeated Alavés 2-1 away. In the 86th minute of the game, Vinícius went down after entering the penalty area, but the referee signaled that there was no penalty. When being substituted, Vinícius expressed his dissatisfaction.
In the second half of the game, Vinicius continuously dribbled past two defenders on the edge of the penalty area, then entered the penalty area and had a physical confrontation before immediately falling to the ground.
But the referee did not make any penalty, and the VAR referee also did not remind him of this.
The game was played at a fast pace, and Real Madrid's victory was not easy. When Vinicius was substituted, he saluted Xavi, who also supported him, saying, "It's so obvious."
Vinicius responded, "He didn't blow the whistle because he was targeting me. There's no doubt it was a penalty." This conversation scene was captured by Movistar's cameras.
