Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso explained the reason why Vinicius Junior did not start in the Champions League match against Marseille (2:1). This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The star Brazilian player came on the field only in the 63rd minute, replacing Rodrygo. Until that moment, the score was 1:1, and in the final minutes of the game, the "royal club" scored the second goal and secured the victory.

At the press conference, Alonso said, "Why was Vini on the bench? The schedule is very tight, we need all the players.

Those who are not in the starting lineup should not be upset. Everyone will play, there are many games ahead," he said.

On Saturday, Real will face Espanyol at home. Real Madrid's next Champions League match will take place on September 30, when Alonso's team will travel to face Kairat.
