The incident unfolded during a tense evening at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadiumwhere expectations remain high for Madrid’s attacking stars. Although Real Madrid secured all three points against Sevilla FCthe atmosphere around Vinicius Jr.’s exit became the defining moment of the night.
Vinicius Jr’s Instagram Update Draws Attention
Shortly after the final whistle, Vinicius Jr made a subtle but striking move on social media. He replaced his Instagram profile picture, which previously showed him holding a Real Madrid jersey, with an image of himself representing Brazil. Given the timing, the change immediately caught the eye of supporters and media alike.
Adding to the intrigue, Vinicius also shared two photos from the Sevilla match on his Instagram feed. Both posts carried the same minimal caption: three ellipsis dots (“…”). With no direct explanation, the posts were widely interpreted as a quiet response to the whistles he received, though the player himself offered no clarification.
The use of the Brazil image, associated with pride and identity, led many to speculate about Vinicius Jr.’s mindset following the mixed reaction at home. Many interpreted the Brazil profile photo as a subtle reminder of his identity beyond club football. For Vinicius, who has often spoken about pressure, criticism, and expectations in Madrid, the switch appeared symbolic rather than accidental. It suggested a moment of reflection, or perhaps emotional distance, after a night when the atmosphere felt divided despite a winning result.
