Vinícius Júnior plans to apologise to Real Madrid fans for his reaction at being substituted during the team's Clásico win over Barcelona , a source has told ESPN.

The forward was withdrawn by coach Xabi Alonso in the 72nd minute of the 2-1 LaLiga victory at the Santiago Bernabéu on Sunday -- replaced by Rodrygo -- and responded angrily, gesticulating and shouting repeatedly as he left the pitch, and heading straight for the dressing room.

ESPN has reported that the relationship between Alonso and Vinícius has deteriorated , and the pair were set to meet in person on Wednesday, as the team returned to training after two days off.

A source told ESPN that the Brazil international had now decided to apologise to Madrid fans for his actions in a statement on social media.
