Real Madrid is playing its first match after being eliminated by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
As a way to express his disappointment over the team's poor season, Vinicius Junior chose not to celebrate his goal against Deportivo Alavés in La Liga and made an unusual gesture towards the fans.
Kylian Mbappe gave Los Blancos the lead in the 30th minute after an assist from Arda Guler.
Just five minutes into the second half, Vini doubled the score with a precise right-footed shot from outside the area, leaving goalkeeper Antonio Sivera no chance.
However, it wasn't the quality of the goal that attracted the most attention.
Instead of celebrating as usual, Vinicius stood on the pitch and raised his hands in a clear gesture of apology towards the Bernabeu stands, followed by another gesture with his palms raised.

It was a clear message from the Brazilian winger to the fans, showing how deeply the defeat in Germany had affected him - a defeat that deprived Real Madrid of their main objective of the season and leaves the club very close to ending the 2025/26 season without a trophy./Express newspaper/
