In the early morning of July 10, 2025, in the FIFA Club World Cup final, Real Madrid lost 0-4 to Paris Saint-Germain, and during the game, a scene from Real Madrid's bench caused widespread controversy. As the game ended, the broadcast footage captured an unexpected moment: Brazilian striker Vinicius sat on the bench and talked about his joy. This scene appears after Paris scored its fourth goal and expanded the score to 4-0.

According to reports, Vinicius was initially dissatisfied with being replaced in the 65th minute. He was replaced by Brahim Dias at the time, and Real Madrid was already behind 0-3. However, just as the game was approaching the end and the score became 0-4, the camera caught him chatting and laughing easily on the bench.

This behavior quickly sparked heated discussions on the Internet, and many Real Madrid fans expressed their anger and confusion about it.

"When the team fell behind 0-4, Vinicius was still laughing? This is not the attitude a player who wants to compete for the championship should have!" A Real Madrid fan named Raul wrote on social media.

Although Vinicius's behavior may be an unintentional move, such a performance in such an important game will undoubtedly have a negative impact on his image in the hearts of the fans. Especially in the context of Real Madrid's overall performance and poor performance in the season, it seems even more out of place.

The overall performance is mediocre, and I expect to fail

In this highly anticipated semi-final of the Club World Cup, Real Madrid was at a full disadvantage from the beginning. As an important member of the offensive end, Vinicius failed to perform at his due level. Throughout the game, he was firmly restricted by Paris left-back Nuno Mendes, with almost no substantial threat.

It is worth mentioning that Vinicius is Real Madrid's striker with the most playing time in this Club World Cup, with a total of 456 minutes. But so far, he has only contributed 1 goal and 1 assist, and has failed to truly shoulder the banner of offense.

At present, the club has not issued a formal response to this matter, but it can be foreseen that this incident may continue to ferment in the future, and even affect Vinicius's position in the hearts of fans.
