Real Madrid's flagship striker Vinicius Junior (26) has confessed his strained relationship with former coach Xavi Alonso (45) in the past.

Real will play Munich at Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain on the 8th (Korea time) in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals from 2025 to 2026.

Germany's Sport 1 reported on the 7th, citing Vinicius' remarks at a press conference ahead of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) quarterfinals against Bayern Munich.

Vinicius has reportedly publicly acknowledged his relationship with former coach Xavi Alonso, saying he "didn't agree with him" and that he had difficulties communicating.

However, he gave firm support to current coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who took over the helm of Alonso. "I have a very good relationship with coach Arbeloa. He always instills confidence in me. I hope I can continue to work with him in the future," he said, expressing his trust.

"The 25-year-old Brazilian national team Vinicius, who found new satisfaction in Madrid after the manager's change, dismissed the recent transfer rumors," the media said.

Vinicius, who signed with Real until 2027, said: "I hope I can stay here for a long time. I also have a lot of trust from the chairman, he said, "Since this is my dream club, I will extend my contract at the right time and continue to play for a long time."

He expressed strong caution about the upcoming match against Munich. "It's a game where you have to stay alert," Vinicius said. Referring to teammate Kylian Mbappe, he predicted, "It's a tricky game where great players make a difference."

Regarding the variable that Harry Kane, the "goal guarantee check" of the opponent's team, may miss, he also said, "It will be a very difficult game regardless of who plays, and we have to prepare thoroughly."
