Vinicius continues to shine on the pitch, the 24-year-old <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-real-sociedad-vinicius-jr-kylian-mbappe/blt1138b2df865cc999" target="_blank">scoring in Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Real Sociedad</a> on Saturday. However, the situation doesn't appear to be quite so rosy behind closed doors, with reports emerging that the Brazilian is losing support from those within the club.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to journalist <a href="https://x.com/carrusel/status/1835443576492421304" target="_blank">Anton Meana</a>, Vinicius' dedication has been questioned by some at Los Blancos who feel that his focus isn't 100% on football. The Brazilian is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/vinicius-junior-nba-shai-gilgeous-alexander-meet-up-madrid-champions-league-semi-final/bltdb3a444735e74e57" target="_blank">something of an emerging fashion-icon</a>, and it appears his extra-curricular activities are upsetting Real chiefs.

The situation has reached the point where Vinicus believes the only protection he has in Madrid comes from manager Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian has defended Vinicius from criticism on more than one occasion, and the winger currently feels little support from elsewhere.

Vinicius, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/vinicius-jr-goal-celebration-slammed-real-madrid-legend/blt6342c54088b11e83#cs38e676804e00e185" target="_blank">came under fire for his celebration</a> after scoring against Real Sociedad, will be in action on Tuesday as Real Madrid begin the defence of their Champions League crown at home to VfB Stuttgart.
