Vini Jr. has now gone 15 games without scoring for Real Madrid; a look back.

The Brazilian hasn’t scored since the match against Villarreal on October 4, 2025.

Forward Vini Jr. is going through a difficult period on the pitch. In Real Madrid ‘s first game of the year , the Brazilian failed to score again in the 5-1 thrashing of Real Betis on Sunday afternoon, extending his goal drought to 15 games without a goal.

Of the 15 games without scoring, 10 of them were Real Madrid victories, with other players from the squad standing out. The last time Vini Jr. scored a goal was on October 4, 2025, in a 3-1 home win against Villarreal in La Liga, when he netted two goals. Since then, the Brazilian has not been able to perform at his best on the pitch.

In the thrashing of Valencia, for example, Vini Jr. had the opportunity to end his goal drought, but he missed the penalty kick.

Due to the ups and downs experienced by the striker this season, a possible departure from the team at the end of his contract is not ruled out. In the last game of the year, Vini Jr. even changed his profile picture to an image wearing the Brazilian national team jersey and made an enigmatic post, reigniting rumors of a farewell to Real Madrid .

Since Xabi Alonso’s arrival, the striker hasn’t been able to replicate his on-field performances from the Carlo Ancelotti era. During Ancelotti’s time, Vini Jr. was one of the team’s key players. According to “The Athletic” last month, he has already informed the board that he doesn’t intend to renew his contract with Real Madrid after it expires in June 2027.

The tense situation between Vini Jr. and Xabi Alonso originated in the Club World Cup semi-final in July, when the manager planned to start the match with the Brazilian on the bench. However, an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold changed the initial plan, and Vini Jr. started, but moved to the right wing. Since then, he has only completed five of the 17 games this season and started on the bench on four occasions.

The most recent episode occurred in the clásico against Barcelona on October 26th, when Vinicius left the field angry after being substituted and expressed his dissatisfaction. After the match, he spoke with Florentino Pérez to apologize and, in the same meeting, Vini Jr. communicated his position that he would not proceed with the renewal given the current situation with Xabi Alonso.
