According to Diario AS, Vinicius returned to the Bernabéu after completing his contract renewal. He has scored, provided assists, received both whistles and applause, and has now accepted his new supporting role behind Mbappé and Bellingham.

This new season, Vinicius has changed, not only externally but also internally. After resolving the contract renewal saga and extending through 2032, he is preparing for his ninth season in the white shirt. Unlike previous seasons, he is no longer the sole leader or the central pillar of the team's project.

Today, the two brightest stars shining at the Bernabéu come from France and England: Mbappé and Bellingham. Both are considered the two most important stars in Real Madrid's new project under Ancelotti, a fact demonstrated in the opening two league matches. Against Espanyol, Bellingham opened the scoring with a header in the 5th minute, reminiscent of his impressive debut season performance.

Four days later, Real Sociedad also fell victim to his excellent form: two assists and an incredible display were enough to make the Bernabéu erupt for him. Meanwhile, the Frenchman also completely dominated the Basque side with his first hat-trick of the season. Faced with such performances, Vinicius had no choice but to accept his new role.

In fact, he had already accepted it when he renewed his contract. Real Madrid's number 7 knows that to regain his best form, he must move past comparisons with his teammates. And that is what he has done. The relationship between Vinicius and Real Madrid's fans has not been at its best. In recent months, both the team and the player underperformed, and mutual understanding between them suffered as a result. The uncertainty surrounding his contract renewal also reignited tensions that had seemed dormant, which flared up again last Wednesday.

After several failed attempts, some fans in the Bernabéu stands whistled at him again, but it quickly subsided. Against Real Sociedad, his goal and assist helped the team secure victory and brought applause back for the Brazilian at Chamartín. Ancelotti, reading the moment well, immediately substituted him, allowing him to receive a standing ovation from the home fans.

The Portuguese coach admitted after the match: "I would never have substituted Vinicius if not for that goal, for that positive feeling. I think it would be wonderful to substitute him after he has scored, to let him feel the love of the fans." Real Madrid's manager also knows the team cannot achieve most of its objectives without the Brazilian returning to his best form. Therefore, Vinicius has accepted his new role and is starting fresh, ready to shine once more.
