Roberto Gomez was blunt on La Tribu, saying Real Madrid has allowed Vinicius Jr.'s situation to spiral and that neither the president, the coach, nor his teammates have given him the support he needs.

The performance of Vinicius Jr. was once again mentioned in an episode of La Tribu. Journalist Roberto Gomez has shown his indignation since he does not consider the treatment the Brazilian is beginning to receive from the Real Madrid fanbase to be adequate. Because a large sector of the fanbase is already beginning to call for Yan Diomande as a starter and for Vini to be benched. Even though he has been vital in winning the recent Champions Leagues.

"I am indignant. Where is the Real Madrid president, where is the coach, where is the captain, where are those who run the stand? You have destroyed Vinicius. Where is Real Madrid TV? They have left him stranded. The fans who, not long ago, were fascinated with him. All the campaign the club mounted when he was close to winning the Ballon d'Or. Where are they?

Yesterday, everything was 'He did very well,' 'let him recover.' Well, I have just heard that Vinicius is already an amortized player. Real Madrid has renewed him for six seasons; he had a huge offer from Arsenal, but he preferred to stay here. Indeed, he is not at his best, but on Wednesday he already looked like a former player to the fans. When Vinicius sat on the bench, he had a face... of disappointment.

And then the fans are asked what they thought of the match, and they answer: 'well, without Vinicius we play better.' All this is a brutal campaign against him. I cannot believe how, in such a short time, a player the club has renewed for six years has been written off. The kid is not going to take it. This seems to me one of the most serious situations in the recent history of Real Madrid," he said.

We really hope that Vinicius can recover the great level he showed in previous years. Let's remember that he was the one in charge of scoring the only goal in the 2022 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool. As well as the one in charge of scoring the second goal in the 2024 final against Borussia Dortmund. He has been a key piece in the recent history of the merengue club.

Currently, he is living through a complicated situation. His bad start to the season seems to have affected him psychologically, and he has not been able to recover. The goal seems to be fleeing from the Brazilian, who has already gone nine consecutive matches without scoring. Meanwhile, Yan Diomande emerges as the new option in his position, with his three goals in four matches, as well as his explosiveness in attack, having amazed Madridismo, which is already loudly calling for him to start.
