The Brazilian star Extends Regret to Real Madrid Supporters
The forward has netted 5 goals in 10 Spanish league appearances so far this term.
Los Merengues attacker Vinicius Jr has expressed regret to fans for his reaction when substituted in the recent heated match against Barcelona triumph.
Vinicius was substituted in the 72nd min and showed his frustration by going straight down the tunnel.
The Brazilian subsequently came back to the dugout and, after his side's 2-1 win, tried to confront Barcelona's Lamine Yamal during unsavoury final whistle exchanges.
"Today I want to apologise to all the supporters for my response when I was substituted in the derby," the player posted on his account.
"Just as I have already done during this morning's session, I wish to express regret anew to my team-mates, the club, and the leadership.
"Sometimes fervor gets the better of me because I always want to succeed and support my club. My winning mentality stems from the affection I feel for this team and everything it symbolizes."
Vinicius moved to the Spanish capital from his former club in 2018 for millions and has notched over a century of strikes in more than 300 games.
But his future in the Spanish capital is unclear with speculation in lately indicating that the club would contemplate permitting the player depart if they were to receive a appropriate bid.
When he was replaced on Sunday, TV coverage from network Dazn captured him remarking: "It's always me! I'm leaving the team! It's preferable if I depart, I'm moving on."
In his most recent statement on social media, he said: "I vow to keep fighting every second for the good of the club, as I have done since the very beginning."
