The Brazilian's reaction following Real Madrid's 1-0 victory over Villarreal.
The Madrid forward started the game on the bench, came on as a substitute, and found the back of the net, but his goal was disallowed after an incident in which he pulled Saliba by the hair and was shown a straight red card. According to the report, his suspension is expected to keep him out of the next Clásico against Barcelona.
After the match ended, Vinícius apologized via social media to his teammates and Real Madrid fans for his ejection, but he followed up shortly afterward. The Brazilian shared a post in an Instagram Story from an account that supports him, which compiled various plays from previous games, raising questions about how he is treated by referees.
The post in question stated, among other things, that “the one who always gets yellow and red cards is Vinícius,” while also referring to “shame” and “mafia.” The player himself did not add any comments, but accompanied the post with three smiley emojis, thereby expressing his dissatisfaction.
