10月23日，体育新闻传来消息，欧冠联赛第三轮赛事中，皇家马德里在主场以4比1的比分击败了莱比锡。在这场比赛中，维尼修斯作为首发球员，在70分钟后被替换下场。遗憾的是，尽管他全力以赴，但仍然未能贡献进球或助攻。目前，他在皇马的比赛中已经连续九场颗粒无收，整个赛季至今仅打入一球。在六台记者Edu Aguirre的一档节目中，他对于维尼修斯的表现进行了分析，并指出球员似乎遭遇了心理上的挑战。
Aguirre Edu remarked, "Throughout the second half, he appeared to be taking leisurely walks. It seems that Vinicius' current mental state might be so depleted that he struggles even to maintain his pace. He's undoubtedly facing some sort of psychological hurdle that makes it a challenge for him to move at all. Meanwhile, everyone else is giving their all, striving for the national derby, thinking about scoring that next goal. Yet, Vinicius lost the ball four times and seemed to be making his way back at a leisurely pace."
