Vinícius Jr. and Elgezabal: Clash and controversy in Real Madrid victory

Unai Elgezabal Questions Vinícius Júnior’s Attitude After the Match

The Levante captain, Unai Elgezabal, expressed his discontent with Real Madrid’s Vinícius Júnior, accusing him of “lack of respect” during the LaLiga match that ended with Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory. Elgezabal, after committing a foul on Kylian Mbappé that resulted in a penalty, had an altercation with Vinícius. The incident occurred when Vinícius approached Elgezabal and placed his hand on his neck.

When there is a lack of respect towards us, the fans and the team we represent… we are people and we have to say enough.

Unai Elgezabal

Elgezabal, although he didn’t want to go into details about the incident, emphasized that “he is a player with a lot of potential”, but that respect must be maintained.

Vinícius opened the scoring with an impressive goal, contributing to Real Madrid’s sixth consecutive victory in LaLiga. Coach Xabi Alonso praised Vinícius’ contribution as “decisive”. Vinícius has had a season start with ups and downs, and was a substitute in two of the team’s seven matches so far. Real Madrid will face Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
