The match between Real Madrid and Mallorca is a very important match for both. The white team, as a visitor, has to play against a Manchester City team that has made things very difficult for them at home and they have not been able to go from a 3-3 draw thanks to a goal from Valverde at the end of the match. On the other hand, Mallorca has just overcome the mourning that comes with having lost the Copa del Rey final, and seeing how its rivals, in this case Athletic Club, celebrate in style for several days.
Furthermore, the situations in LaLiga are not to be ignored either, and in this case the visitors need to win so as not to complicate the end of the league with a possible relegation. Cádiz has been going strong with its new coach, and both Celta, Rayo and Sevilla are getting some points in recent days that are bringing them closer to the vermillions, therefore, a defeat could bring them closer to relegation than they would like. For its part, Real Madrid has already failed from time to time these days, and taking into account the physical and mental state of Barcelona now, giving them the option to think that they can win the league would be the worst thing to manage this end of the season.
Hence, Vinícius' substitution is news, and Madrid has 3 important points at stake. But reviewing Vini's last matches on the Mallorca field, and above all, taking into account that Ancelotti's next match is at the Ethihad Stadium in England, it is possibly the best option for the Brazilian.
Vini has always been criticized for his ways and the times he oversteps himself on the pitch, but his relationship with Mallorca goes one step further. During the last few seasons there have been problems even off the field, Raillo even made statements that they would not tolerate anything from the winger on the field out of position, and players like Maffeo have had the occasional problem on the field that has even ended with warnings for more than one. For all this, plus the fans who would also be waiting for him, it could be said that Vinícius is a person non grata in Son Moix, and why risk one of the best players in your squad in a situation like this, having quality replacements like Brahim Díaz, taking into account everything that is at stake in the Champions League.
And with that we come to the second point, this Wednesday, Real Madrid will travel to Manchester to try to overcome the quarter-final tie, and everyone knows that this field is anything but easy. So reserving players for this match is probably the best option. Everyone knows that no matter how happy it is to win a league, the white team is the lord of European nights, and players like Vinícius are the ones who give you the extra quality that makes you achieve the epicities that we have only been able to see from the meringues. It is true that most of them have been at home, but for that reason and even more importantly, letting Vini rest will be the best option.
