Vinicius' Ban Worsens After Shoving La Liga Official

Vinicius' Disciplinary Case Makes Major Headlines in Spain After Villarreal Match

According to "Sports Three", this 25-year-old Brazilian striker was sent off the field during Real Madrid's 1-0 victory over Villarreal in the 73rd minute for pulling Nathan Saliba's hair, and on the way to the dressing room, he faced new tensions that may result in a heavier suspension for him. A ban that could jeopardize his appearance in El Clasico against Barcelona on October 25 at Camp Nou.

According to video footage released, the Brazil international appeared to push a La Liga employee in the Santiago Bernabeu tunnel as he passed behind the VAR monitor. Even his compatriot Andrik, who accompanied him with the cover of reserves, could not calm him down.

Referee Isidro Diaz de Mera's report has put the Real Madrid player under intense pressure, detailing Vinicius' aggressive behavior after receiving a red card. "After the dismissal and while still on the pitch, Vinicius aggressively protested my decision by shouting and approaching the area I was in," the report said.

The referee emphasized that the attacker should have been restrained by his teammates. On the field, four players, Rudiger, Guler, Valverde and Schwameni, had to restrain his strong protests before he entered the dressing room tunnel.

Due to the automatic suspension, his absence in the match against Sevilla on October 18 is certain, but the main uncertainty is the extent of this suspension. If the disciplinary committee decides to impose a two-session ban based on the referee's report and the dressing room, the Brazilian player will miss El Clasico against Barcelona. Vinicius is also going through a difficult time personally after the news of the end of his relationship with Virginia Fonseca.
