After the 5-1 aggregate defeat, Vinicius sent a message of hope to the fans. 'Real Madrid will be back, as always. Thanks for your support. We need to be together for the final weeks of the season,' he said. 'There are still titles we can win... always together with this team, this club until the very end. Hala Madrid!'

Madrid still have a chance to win silverware in La Liga and the Copa del Rey, where they face Barcelona in the final. However, manager Carlo Ancelotti's future at the club is in doubt following the European exit. It will take more than inspiring words from Vinicius and teammate Jude Bellingham to keep the legendary manager at the club next season.

Despite scoring against Arsenal, Vinicius has been criticized by Spanish media for his poor form. He, along with the Madrid side, needs to find a way to bring goals back to a team that was once the favorite to win every competition they entered at the start of the campaign.
