Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. has expressed his frustration with Laliga referees not protecting him enough in games.

The Brazilian has been one of Real Madrid’s best players in recent years and led his team to the Laliga title and the UEFA Champions League trophy.

This season he has continued with his fine form, scoring nine goals and providing five assists for the Spanish giants.

However, one issue he has always had is temperament on the pitch, which has been a major problem for the star player.

According to Fabrizio on X, Vini Jr. said, “I’m upset when referees do not give any yellow card to players, then I complain once… and it’s yellow card. But I have to improve, I’m 24 and I must improve on this sort of thing.”

The Brazilian has made the headlines on numerous occasions concerning his attitude on the pitch during games.

He has developed a reputation for complaining when referees don't call a foul on him or when they fail to card his opponents.

However, he has decided to make a change in his attitude and improve on those sorts of things during games.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are preparing for their UCL clash against their rivals Atletico Madrid on Wednesday and Vinicius will be looking to play a key role in helping them qualify for the next round.
