Vinicius plays down Clasico rift


MADRID, Oct. 28 (Xinhua) -- Real Madrid's Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr has apologized for his behavior after being substituted in the second half of his side's 2-1 win over FC Barcelona on Sunday.

Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso replaced Vinicius by Rodrygo, which enraged the winger. Vinicius walked off the pitch, shouting and making angry gestures, before storming down the players' tunnel, in actions that provoked almost as many headlines as the match result.
