Jose Mourinho may have made yet another Vinicius Junior mistake (and it could cost him)

Writer Hridyam Arora argues that Jose Mourinho is making a tactical error by confirming that Vinicius Junior will start for Real Madrid against RB Leipzig. Following a victory over Sevilla, Mourinho publicly announced the forward's inclusion days ahead of Wednesday's Champions League fixture, citing Vinicius Junior's freshness and motivation after sitting out the domestic match.

Arora contends that Real Madrid should have retained the Sevilla lineup as a rehearsal for their upcoming clash against Barcelona. The writer believes that starting Vinicius Junior risks fan scrutiny at the Santiago Bernabeu following a previous red card, suggesting an appearance off the bench would have been a safer management choice.
