Real Madrid’s night at the Santiago Bernabeu turned toxic as Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham were loudly booed by sections of the home crowd following the club’s Copa del Rey humiliation and the confirmed sacking of Xabi Alonso.
The atmosphere was tense from the start, with supporters making it clear they were unhappy after a damaging spell that has left patience wearing thin. When Vinicius and Bellingham came into focus on the ball, whistles and jeers rang out, reflecting the anger that has spread through the stands.
It was not limited to one moment either. The reactions repeated as the pair were involved in play, with the Bernabeu faithful directing their frustration at two of the team’s biggest names while also voicing their wider disappointment at how the season has unfolded.
The boos followed a turbulent period at the club that culminated in Alonso losing his job, a decision that has done little to calm the mood among fans. Real Madrid’s Copa del Rey exit has only added to the sense of embarrassment, and the response inside the stadium underlined just how quickly pressure has built.
For Vinicius and Bellingham, both used to being match-winners on big nights in Madrid, the reception was a stark sign of the current climate. The message from the stands was clear: supporters want an immediate response after a week few at the Bernabeu will want to remember.
