Vinícius Júnior Stuns Bernabéu with Trivela as Alonso Reacts in Awe
The Santiago Bernabéu was already alive, but Vinícius Júnior turned it into pure chaos with a goal of breathtaking quality — a trivela strike that curled past the Levante goalkeeper and straight into highlight reels.
As fans erupted in delirium, all eyes turned to the touchline. Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso, usually the picture of composure, leapt from his seat with both arms raised, grinning in disbelief at what he had just witnessed. Moments later, he applauded Vinícius with visible admiration, shaking his head as if to say: “How do you even stop that?”
Alonso’s reaction — clapping, pointing, and smiling toward his Brazilian star — captured the trust and joy between coach and player. For Madridistas, it was the perfect reflection of their own emotions inside the stadium.
This wasn’t just another goal; it was a moment of magic that underlined why Vinícius remains one of the most electrifying players in world football. And Alonso’s response proved it: even the coach couldn’t hide his awe.
