Xabi Alonso praised Vinícius Júnior’s performance after the match where the Real Madrid forward celebrated his return to the team with a crucial goal in the 2-1 victory over Mallorca on Saturday. The Real Madrid found themselves behind after Vedat Muriqi’s header for Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabéu. However, in a minute, goals from Arda Güler and Vinícius turned the score around. This was the second goal in two games for Vinícius, who also scored from the bench last week against Real Oviedo, ensuring that Madrid reaches the international break with three consecutive victories in LaLiga.

Madrid had three goals disallowed by VAR against Mallorca: two for Kylian Mbappé, for offside, and one for Güler for involuntary handball.Vinícius played well. It was a better match for him than against Osasuna and it was an important goal to put us ahead… I am happy with Vini’s game, he is scoring goals and that is important.

Real Madrid will return to action on September 13, when they visit Real Sociedad.I would like to move forward and have the players here. But we knew that in these three matches, after a mini pre-season, it was important to compete, keep improving things, defining the path we want.
