He needs to know he can be taken off Getting way too comfortable - Real Madrid fans rip into attacker for his selfish display in 3-2 Leipzig defeat

Real Madrid fans unhappy with Vinicius Junior's display in the loss against RB Leipzig. fans were largely unhappy with Vincius Junior's display in their team's 3-2 UEFA Champions League group stage loss against RB Leipzig on Tuesday (October 25). The Brazil international started down the left-hand side of Madrid's attack. Rodrygo started down the while Marco Asensio manned the right flank. Two quick goals from the second phase of two separate set pieces meant Leipzig were 2-0 up with 18 minutes on the clock. Vinicius created a good chance for Rodrygo in the 35th minute only for the latter's header to be saved by Janis Blaswich. Vinicius himself pulled one back for Real Madrid just before the 45-minute mark to bring his team back into the game. However, it seems that Los Blancos fans were not pleased by what they saw from the Brazilian, especially in the second half. Real Madrid's 20-game unbeaten run comes to an end with their first loss since May 8 Real Madrid's 20-game unbeaten run comes to an end with their first loss since May 8 On two separate occasions - in the 64th and the 74th minute - 'Vini' chose to take on opposition defenders instead of releasing the ball early. With the scoreline at 2-1 during both situations, better decision-making could have brought Madrid back into the game. Vinicius also lost the ball 26 times in the defeat against the Bundesliga outfit. Timo Werner scored his team's third goal in the 81st minute while Rodrygo's penalty in stoppage time was only a consolation strike. Here are some of the best reactions from Madrid fans unhappy with Vinicius following the defeat in Germany. What went wrong tonight? What went wrong tonight? Vinicius poor decision making in the final third, if you can’t shoot, pass and stop doing childish dribbles and unnecessary touches in front of GOAL. Playing rudiger LB is an obvious mistake.

Vini needs a real competition…he needs to know he can be taken off Vini needs a real competition…he needs to know he can be taken off Vini been wasteful Vini been wasteful Eden Hazard was one of the world's best left-wingers during his heyday but he is firmly below Vinicius in the pecking order at Madrid. The Belgium international did come on in the second half in place of Toni Kroos, but for a 14-minute cameo. Despite tonight's subpar outing, Vinicius remains Real Madrid's first choice on the left flank. He's bagged eight goals and five assists in 17 games across competitions so far this season. To put things in perspective, Hazard has seven goals in 72 appearances across his Real Madrid career.
