The victory over Inter Milan is like dozens of scenarios that have been repeated with Real Madrid in recent years in the Champions League at home at the Bernabeu. Los Blancos have played inferior at times but won with incredible scenarios. On the day goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois played sublimely, Inter made 2 serious mistakes leading to defeat.
Perhaps because the players' playing style was not satisfying and convincing, even at the time Real Madrid was leading Inter by 2 goals, the players were still booed by a group of fans in the stands. Among these, Vinicius suffered whistles in the stands in a very incomprehensible way.
The protest sounds were heard more clearly when Inter pressed the field and created a series of chances. Real Madrid right at home let the opponent put pressure to the point of suffocation. They lacked connection between 3 lines and let the Inter squad not be in the best condition to play at the Bernabeu. However, with coach Jose Mourinho, everything is not too much to discuss, everything is normal, even somewhat positive.
At many times, the match may have ended with a score of 5-1 or 6-1 in favor of Real Madrid. But looking back, it could also have been 6-6. There were countless chances created in the second half. Such a crazy and chaotic scenario is something I don't like at all.
I have no comment on the reaction of the fans. If it were me, I would not do that today (when the team wins) and would never do that" - Mourinho shared.
The root cause of this small protest in the Bernabeu stands probably stemmed from the defeat to Real Betis last week. Real Madrid and Mourinho had a dream start to the season with a series of consecutive victories. However, the way they lost to Betis was unacceptable and tensions began to rise from the stands again. Things became even more serious when Carlos Augusto narrowed the score to 1-2 in the 77th minute. Psychological pressure made Trent Alexander-Arnold play out of expectations and he was substituted in the 79th minute after 2 silly misses.
By the end of the match, Vinicius was exhausted and began not to create a breakthrough. He had to endure fierce boos from the Bernabeu stands at many times during the match, but the climax was when he was replaced by left-back Alvaro Carreras in the 86th minute.
Another reason for this dissatisfaction of Real Madrid fans aimed at the Brazilian striker is the story in the 2026 summer transfer window. He once refused to extend his contract to demand a raise, even sending a positive signal to Arsenal about a 150 million Euro escape. Vinicius finally stayed but he needs more time to regain the trust of his team's fans.
I and you, perhaps even he himself knows that he cannot regain his peak form. Vinicius right now cannot be a version that can finish off any opponent, but I think he deserves respect for trying his best" - Mourinho shared.
