Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior risks a suspension of four to 12 matches for pushing the opposing team’s goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski during the 79th minute of the match against Valencia (2-1).
After the incident, the Brazilian player was sent off. According to Spanish La Liga regulations, such aggressive behavior without an attempt to play the ball is punishable by suspension.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Vinicius will likely receive the minimum penalty of four matches.
This could exclude him from participating in the Supercopa de España semifinal against Mallorca, and if they advance to the final, he may miss the match against Barcelona or Athletic Bilbao.
Vinicius has been with Real Madrid since July 2018. He has played a total of 286 matches for the club, scoring 97 goals and providing 83 assists.
Earlier, Vinicius was named the best player of 2024 at the FIFA Best Awards.
