Vinicius once again saw red. Provoked by Stole Dimitrievski, Friday evening during Real Madrid’s stunning victory over Valencia in a late La Liga match (1-2), the Brazilian lost his nerve and was guilty of a bad gesture on the Macedonian goalkeeper . Sent off and exasperated, the former Flamengo prodigy was held back by his teammates as he vehemently contested his red card with the referee.

According to the regulations of the Spanish championship, an “aggression” is punishable by a suspension of 4 to 12 matches. Vinicius could therefore be very severely punished and removed from the field for a long time.

“He should not have received a red card”

After the match, Carlo Ancelotti defended his Auriverde winger, announcing that the club would appeal. For the Italian technician, “Vini” should have been sanctioned with a simple yellow card, just like goalkeeper Dimitrievski. “ He should not have received a red card. The referee should have given each player a yellow card in my opinion. The guard pushed Vini and Vini responded. We will appeal this expulsion

“, he assured in a post-match press conference.

For his part, Vinicius made a point of apologizing on his X account (formerly Twitter). “Sorry and thank you to the team”, thus wrote the Brazilian.
