Real Madrid forward Vincius Jnior has candidly addressed his relationship with former manager Xabi Alonso, admitting that he struggled to establish a "connection" with the Spaniard during his tenure. Speaking ahead of a massive Champions League clash with Bayern Munich, the Brazilian also defended his partnership with Kylian Mbappe, insisting their bond remains "incredible" despite external criticism. Managerial disconnect at the Bernabeu Vinicius appeared in the press room ahead of Madrid's Champions League quarterfinal first leg against Bayern Munich and delivered a strong message regarding his past under Alonso. The 25-year-old forward reflected on his 33 appearances under the former coach, during which he recorded seven goals and 11 assists despite a notable lack of professional rapport. Addressing the friction and his growth under Alonso's replacement Alvaro Arbeloa, Vinicius said: "My time with Xabi was a learning experience; I've improved as a person. I couldn't connect with him, but I have a great connection with Arbeloa, and he's given me a lot of confidence, just like [Carlo] Ancelotti did." Alonso's substitutions often elicited tense reactions from the Brazilian, who frequently displayed frustration, particularly in Real's El Clasico win over Real Madrid in October. He added: "It wasn't a pleasant moment, and I apologized to everyone. I like to play every game and I didn't get to play any of them. Later, with a cool head, you can understand that you made a mistake. I'm young and every day is a new experience where you can improve." Vinicius defends 'incredible' Mbappe bond Despite external suggestions that the dual presence of Vinicius and Mbappe has disrupted Madrids tactical equilibrium, the former Flamengo forward remains adamant that their partnership is flourishing. He dismissed claims of a lack of harmony, pointing to their mutual understanding as a key factor in the clubs pursuit of continental glory. Responding to critics who suggest the star-studded attack lacks defensive balance, Vinicius added: "People say a lot of things, but Kylian has always scored goals and helped us. We have to be connected tomorrow, I have an incredible connection with him on and off the field. Of course it bothers me, and we have to understand what the club wants. We can't change what comes from outside. If we're together, we make the team better." Maturity through difficult spells Beyond his relationships with staff and teammates, Vinicius highlighted his personal evolution after enduring periods of poor form and scrutiny from the fans. He credited his work ethic both at the club and at home for his current physical and mental state, which he believes is now at its peak. Vinicius stated: "I've always given everything for the team. I don't think I've ever gone so long without scoring goals, like when I was young and lacked focus, but I've learned from that last bad spell and good players always turn things around. I'm doing very well now. I've had some difficult times when the fans booed me. We've played with the national team and it's more complicated, but I'm working hard with the club and at home to be 100% ready to help the team." Defining European night against Bayern Madrid now face a season-defining test as they host Bayern in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on April 7. The tactical setup under Arbeloa will be under intense scrutiny before the two sides meet again for the decisive return leg at the Allianz Arena eight days later. Vinicius must prove that his bond with Mbappe can produce results on the grandest stage to silence the ongoing debate regarding the squad's overall stability.

In their last game together, UConn coach Dan Hurley and Huskies star Alex Karaban saw a bid for a third national title in four years come to an end at the hands of the Michigan Wolverines, who authored a 69-63 victory at Lucas Oil Stadium on Monday night.

JAKE FENNER IN INDIANAPOLIS: 34 years after Michigan became the first program to start five freshmen in a national title game, they became the first program to start five transfers in the showpiece.

Michigan's Roddy Gayle Jr. snagged a final rebound, then flung the ball to the other end of the court, effectively ending UConn's frantic bid for a miracle.The horn sounded, and Morez Johnson Jr. came over to share a celebratory scream and hearty hug from one transfer to another as the Wolverines began running toward midcourt to celebrate a national championship.Maybe a school really can build an ideal college basketball roster amid the topsy-turvy chaos of the transfer portal, paying players and top-to-bottom overhauls.Michigan proved it Monday night, rolling out an all-transfer starting lineup that was too big, too strong and too capable of countering anything that UConn could muster even on a night when the 3-point shot wasn't falling and All-American Yaxel Lendeborg was hobbled by ankle and knee injuries.The Wolverines still had enough to hold off the Huskies 69-63 and claim the program's first title in 37 years.And they showed how second-year Dusty May assembled a resilient roster by diving all the way into the portal.Man, this whole year, we were a team that played together, Lendeborg said as he stood amid the confetti on the court at Lucas Oil Stadium. We didn't have a best player, like I said before. We have a guy that steps up big-time in these games.We have players that make plays when they need to make them. And we just played a full all-around team basketball game today. We did it.It didn't matter that the Wolverines shot just 38% while making 2 of 15 3-pointers stunning numbers for a team that entered the NCAA Tournament ranked No. 8 nationally in KenPom's adjusted offensive efficiency (126.6 points per 100 possessions).It didn't matter that they were outrebounded and gave up an incredible 22 offensive boards.Nor that Lendeborg carried an awkward gait as he grinded his way through a 4-for-13 shooting effort in 36 minutes after twisting his left ankle and spraining a knee ligament in Saturday's win over Arizona in the Final Four.Not the way these guys complemented each other on the sport's biggest stage.Point guard Elliot Cadeau, in his first season after two up-and-down years at North Carolina, had 19 points and was named the Final Four's most outstanding player. Johnson, in his first year from Illinois, had 12 points and 10 rebounds. The 7-foot-3 Aday Mara, in his first year from UCLA, helped hold UConn big man Tarris Reed Jr. who had been a March Madness force to just 4-of-12 shooting.Nobody cared about stats the whole season. Nobody cared about nothing but winning, Cadeau said.Four of Michigan's five starters were in their first year after transferring: Cadeau, Johnson, Mara and Lendeborg (UAB).The fifth starter, Nimari Burnett, was practically a Michigan lifer by comparison; he was in his third season with the Wolverines, after starting his career at Texas Tech then spending two years at Alabama. A similar story followed Gayle, a reserve who had spent two years at rival Ohio State before these last two years in Ann Arbor.That left only two players in Michigan's eight-man rotation who would qualify as homegrown talent: freshman Trey McKinney and fifth-year graduate Will Tschetter.It's an approach that tailored to the current era of the sport, with players transferring freely between campuses and cleared to profit from the use of their name, image and likeness (NIL), along with schools able to pay athletes directly with the arrival of revenue sharing. Purists have complained that the revolving door of players makes it harder for fans to get behind their schools than it was when most players spent multiple seasons in the same uniform. Transfers even featured prominently in an executive order signed last week by President Donald Trump seeking to reform college sports.May shrugged off the critics on Sunday, noting, I think we are all better in certain situations than others.Athletic director Warde Manuel offered a similar defense on the court Monday night after the program claimed its first national title since the Glen Rice-led Wolverines cut down the nets in Seattle in 1989.A lot of teams around the country benefited from transfers, Manuel said. You can't just say, Well, Michigan had the most transfers. Dusty put this team together the way he did.And it worked to perfection.By the end, Mara was jumping around with a few teammates after they had watched the One Shining Moment music montage of tournament highlights, with someone picking up a handful of confetti and tossing it into the air to flutter around them.It's important to get the right people on the bus, assistant coach Justin Joyner said. It's important to get unselfish guys that are about winning, that are about the group. We had that with the best of our players. Yaxel Lendeborg's one of the most unselfish superstars you'll ever be around. So when you have that from the top, it permeates through your locker room, it permeates through your group. And eventually you can become a unit that's about winning.___AP March Madness bracket: https://apnews.com/hub/ncaa-mens-bracket and coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/march-madness
