Vinicius subsequently came back to the dugout and, after his side's 2-1 win, sought to engage Barcelona's opposing player during unpleasant after the game exchanges.
"Today I want to say sorry to all the Real Madrid fans for my behavior when I was substituted in the big match," he wrote on his account.
"In the same way as I have said in person during today's practice, I also want to express regret anew to my team-mates, the club, and the club president.
"Occasionally passion overcomes me because I constantly desire to win and support my club. My competitive character comes from the passion I have for this team and each thing it symbolizes."
