Real Madrid’s team bus departed Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena after their Champions League elimination without Vinicius Junior in a move that might become emblematic before the transfer window.
According to Football Transfers, after the match, it was decided that the team should depart for the airport without the Brazilian because he was under doping supervision.
For a player who had a lot to think about after a challenging night, it would have been a lonely experience.
Alvaro Arbeloa’s tenure as head coach is expected to be brief following Los Blancos’ Champions League loss, which was 4-3 on the night and 6-4 on aggregate.

Eduardo Camavinga’s future has also been called into question following his silly red card.
Apart from the two apparent targets, however, Vini Jr.’s failure to make a significant impact on the match should raise further concerns about the Brazilian’s chances of having his contract extended.
Contract On Par With Mbappe
The 25-year-old has been embroiled in a contract dispute with Los Blancos for almost a year. He has little over a year left on his contract, so a solution needs to be found in the upcoming weeks.
Several reports disclosed last year that the Real Madrid board was growing impatient with Vini’s relentless pursuit of an ever-higher salary – on par with Kylian Mbappe.
Even if Mbappe hasn’t scored in a Champions League semifinal or final since his time at Monaco in 2017, there’s no denying that he is currently Madrid’s most prized asset.
