Vinícius’s ejection in the Real Madrid–Villarreal match last Saturday during the eighth matchday of La Liga continues to spark debate in Spain, as a video reveals the reaction of the Brazilian international forward for the “Merengues” as he was heading to the locker room.
According to reports in the Spanish press, Vinícius pushed a La Liga official who was standing behind the VAR booth.
The incident went unnoticed at the time and was not recorded by the match referee. Now, Vinicius Jr. faces a two- to three-match suspension, which means he’ll miss the Clásico against Barcelona on the 25th.
Ah, well… poor Vinicius Luther King Jr., who also got his hand caught after being sent off by a LaLiga official and was shoved. https://t.co/WTfKz55CTk
