Real Madrid star, Vinicius Jr. will miss the club’s next two matches after receiving a red card during Madrid’s game against Valencia on Friday, January 3, 2025.
He was also fined €600 with Madrid also paying an additional fine of €700.
Vinicius received a red card for slapping Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski in the second half at the Mestalla stadium when Madrid was trailing 1-0.
Further controversy was caused as Vinicius refused to leave the pitch and had to be forced off by his teammates.
The player will now miss the La Liga fixtures against Las Palmas and Valladolid.
After an appeal by the club, the RFEF suspended the striker for two league games, clearing him for Thursday’s Super Cup game against Mallorca.
Real, LaLiga leaders with 43 points, will look to retain their Super Cup title in the four-team tournament in Saudi Arabia.
