Gareth Bale calls out Real Madrid forwards after Anfield loss

Bale criticised Mbappe and Vinicius for overcomplicating attacks in a subdued display as Madrid slipped to their first Champions League defeat of the season. Thibaut Courtois kept the margin to one as Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister decided it with a second-half header. Liverpool’s off-ball structure boxed Madrid into predictable lanes and narrowed Mbappe’s launch zones. With transitions limited and shot quality poor, Real’s stars forced actions instead of recycling to create superior angles, turning possession into sterile pressure.

Dugarry slams Vinícius for Clasico “whining” after Alonso substitution

October 2025

Vinícius reacted angrily to a 72’ substitution—storming off, later returning—and joined post-match altercations. Dugarry blasted his conduct as disrespectful to the coach. The flashpoint overshadowed a statement win that ended a four-game drought versus Barça, despite Vinícius influencing phases including the move before Bellingham’s winner. Madrid’s man-management test continues: aligning star temperament with Alonso’s control ethos. Expect clearer substitution protocols and leadership intervention from veterans. For Vinícius, reputational repair requires disciplined pressing, cleaner decision-making, and restraint under provocation. Winning softens noise, but repetition will escalate dressing-room consequences and tactical recalibration of late-game wide roles.

Details emerged of a disdainful remark Vinícius fired at 18-year-old Yamal amid Madrid’s 2-1 win, compounding the youngster’s subdued display. While Mbappé and Bellingham scored and Szczęsny saved a second-half penalty, Yamal’s two shots and two chances created weren’t enough. The episode spotlights Madrid’s psychological edge as they move five points clear.

Reports indicate Madrid could sanction a sale near 250 million euros amid Saudi interest, with Al Ahli linked. Despite five goals and four assists in ten matches, Kylian Mbappe’s arrival has shifted the hierarchy, opening a pathway to a record transfer if bids materialise.
Contract runs to 2027, so a refusal to extend would force decisions. Madrid can reallocate a windfall into other areas while retaining elite attackers. Saudi leadership keeps signaling confidence in landing prime-age stars, positioning Vinicius as a headline target for next summer.

Saudi Pro League clubs remain interested, having held meetings earlier this year. While Vinicius prefers Madrid long-term, stalled negotiations heighten tension over his status in Alonso’s evolving system.

Ongoing (final decision expected soon)

Despite temptation and multiple meetings with Saudi representatives since September, Vinicius was unwilling to commit to the five-year term required. Real Madrid’s renewed offer, reportedly shorter and more aligned with his ambitions, is expected to be accepted.

Real Madrid suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Valencia, with Vinícius Júnior missing his second penalty in under a month. The loss gives Barcelona the chance to go six points clear at the top if they beat Real Betis later.
