The first promotional poster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup was meant to celebrate global stars like Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Vinicius Jr. But one question overshadowed the excitement: why was Cristiano Ronaldo missing?

Even though Rodrygo Goes was one of Real Madrid's best players a few seasons ago, he hasn't been getting much playing time since Xabi Alonso took over. In response, the Brazilian made some comments about his playing time that seem to be a message to the coach.

Despite his rise to becoming one of the best players in the world, Vinicius Jr has often faced criticism for his defiant attitude toward opponents. In response, Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos offers a strong opinion on the Brazilian’s behavior, revealing a surprising detail.

With his penalty goal against Tunisia, Estevão has outshined star Vinicius Junior in a record with the Brazil national team.

Karim Benzema has given a piece of advice to Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé and his relationship on the field with Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior.

Even though Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior are teammates at Real Madrid, they could face each other just before the 2026 World Cup. France and Brazil have reportedly arranged a friendly match in preparation for the anticipated tournament.

Although Vinicius Junior has struggled to stand out in Brazil since his debut, Carlo Ancelotti’s arrival has offered the Real Madrid star a fresh opportunity to shine. With this in mind, coach revealed that the 25-year-old will take on a new role in the lineup ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Jude Bellingham — three of the club’s brightest stars — have found themselves at the heart of growing tensions inside the dressing room under manager Xabi Alonso.

Just over two years after Neymar Jr.'s last game with Brazil, Casemiro surprised everyone by naming his top candidates to lead the national team in the superstar’s absence, notably omitting Vinicius Jr. from the conversation.

 Real Madrid, fresh from last summer’s assembling of an attacking line led by Kylian Mbappe, is reportedly planning another seismic move—one that could alter the balance of European soccer for years to come.

Vinicius' contract talks have stalled, and under an uncertain situation, Real Madrid have reportedly set a record price tag on the Brazilian star.

Real Madrid, despite being the clear favorites, faced a surprising defeat against Liverpool, marking the latter's first victory in the 2025-26 Champions League. In response, legend Gareth Bale did not hesitate to harshly criticize Vinicius Jr. and Kylian Mbappe for their performances.

Following the controversial episode with Real Madrid's Xabi Alonso, Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti set the record straight to Vinicius Junior.

After the 4-0 win over Valencia in La Liga, Real Madrid head coach opened up on his frustrated reaction to Vinicius Jr. misses penalty, which was handed by his teammate Kylian Mbappé.

Although the tension between Vinicius Jr and Xabi Alonso seems resolved, the Brazilian's contract renewal remains a contentious issue. For that reason, a Champions League winner with Real Madrid has issued a strong warning about his salary expectations.
