Overview
- Fans at the Levante match loudly booed Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham and chanted for Pérez to step down, with the scenes captured on video during a 2-0 home win.
- Álvaro Arbeloa said supporters have every right to whistle, defended Pérez, and vowed to restore Vinícius’s form by instructing teammates to find him more often.
- COPE reporting cited by local media says the dressing room was deeply affected by the sustained hostility, which players felt turned the match into an away-like environment.
- El Periódico and Sport, via Forbes and Yahoo, report Vinícius told his entourage he won’t play where he isn’t wanted, with some outlets noting fewer than 18 months left on his deal.
- With Arbeloa seen as a short-term solution, reporting links Real Madrid strongly to Jürgen Klopp for the summer and notes Mikel Arteta is being monitored, while José Mourinho publicly dismissed a return.
