"Why?" – Vinicius furious with Mourinho after substitution against Roma

Vinicius Junior could not hide his frustration with Jose Mourinho's decision during Real Madrid's Champions League clash against Roma.

Details: The Brazilian winger was substituted in the 59th minute of the match at the Stadio Olimpico, with Mourinho bringing on Endrick in his place. According to reporters, Vinicius reacted angrily to the decision and shouted towards the Portuguese manager: "Why did he substitute me?"

The substitution came at a particularly difficult moment for Real Madrid. Roma had taken a 3-1 lead after Donyell Malen scored twice early in the second half, leaving Mourinho searching for a way to turn the game around.

Vinicius, who started the match, left the pitch without registering a goal or an assist. His reported reaction immediately became another talking point surrounding the Brazilian and his relationship with the Real Madrid head coach.

Mourinho has not publicly explained the reason for this particular substitution. The reported words of Vinicius have also not been independently confirmed.

It is worth noting that earlier on October 14, Vinicius received a four-match La Liga suspension following his red card against Villarreal. The punishment will force him to miss El Clasico against Barcelona on October 25, although it does not apply to Champions League matches.
