On Tuesday, Real Madrid learned that Vinicius Junior had received a two-match La Liga suspension following his red card against Valencia last weekend. It means the 24-year-old will not be available for the games against Las Palmas (home) and Real Valladolid (away) later this month.
Given the circumstances, this was the best possible result for Real Madrid, who will now have Vinicius available for the Spanish Super Cup. However, there has been outrage over the sanction imposed by the Disciplinary Committee of the Spanish Football Federation, especially by Leganés.
According to Diario AS, the Madrid club are furious that Vinicius has only been banned for two games, with their player Óscar Rodríguez being banned for four games for a similar incident during the 5-2 home defeat against Villarreal last month. – club officials are said to be “incredulous” at the apparent “double standard.”
While this was the best-case scenario for Real Madrid, they hope that Vinicius will not receive any sanctions, as an appeal is expected to be filed in the next 24 to 48 hours. They believe a punishment would be unfair under the circumstances, given that the Brazilian allegedly suffered racist abuse at the time of the incident with Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski.
