Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior has opened up about his growing disillusionment with how he is being treated at the club, admitting that the constant scrutiny and challenges leave him feeling sad and confused.
The Brazilian forward, speaking in an emotional interview ahead of Real Madrid’s UEFA Champions League campaign, revealed the toll that persistent criticism, refereeing decisions, and off-field incidents have taken on him personally. Despite his undeniable impact scoring crucial goals and providing flair in big matches Vinicius highlighted a sense of unfairness that continues to weigh heavily.
“It makes me sad. I don’t understand it,” Vinicius said when reflecting on the repeated targeting he faces both on and off the pitch. He pointed to ongoing issues with opposition players, hostile atmospheres in away games, and what he perceives as inconsistent protection from match officials. The 25-year-old has frequently been at the center of controversies involving racial abuse from fans and rough treatment during matches, leading to widespread campaigns in his support.
Vinicius emphasized his love for Real Madrid and the fans who stand by him, but confessed that the negativity sometimes overshadows the joy of playing. “I give everything for this club, for the badge, but sometimes it feels like no matter what I do, it’s never enough or it’s turned against me,” he added.
The comments come at a pivotal time for Los Blancos in the Champions League, where they are pushing to defend their continental crown. Vinicius remains one of the team’s most dangerous attackers, yet his mental and emotional state has become a topic of discussion among supporters and pundits. Many have rallied behind him, calling for greater institutional backing from the club and La Liga to address the systemic issues he faces.
Real Madrid has not issued an official response to Vinicius’s latest remarks, but the player’s candor underscores deeper questions about player welfare, racism in football, and the pressures of performing at one of the world’s biggest clubs.
As the season progresses, all eyes will be on how Vinicius channels these emotions on the pitch while the club works to provide the support he clearly needs.
