Real Madrid to appeal Vinicius Jr.’s Controversial Red Card
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has declared the club will appeal the red card issued to star player Vinicius Junior during Friday’s dramatic 2-1 victory over Valencia. The controversial dismissal, stemming from an incident with Valencia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, has ignited a firestorm of debate within the football world.
The incident, reviewed by referee Soto Grado, involved a late-game altercation between Vinicius and Mamardashvili. Following a push from the goalkeeper, Vinicius responded with a shove of his own, resulting in the straight red card. The Real Madrid forward’s reaction was immediate and visibly frustrated, leading to a brief confrontation with the referee before teammates Antonio Rudiger and Dani ceballos intervened to de-escalate the situation.
Ancelotti, speaking after the match, expressed his strong disagreement with the referee’s decision. “We thought it wasn’t a red card,” Ancelotti stated to reporters. “Dimitrievski touched him and Vinny pushed him. It was a yellow card for each of them and the matter should have been closed.”
The Real Madrid manager’s comments clearly indicate the club’s intention to challenge the ruling.”We will appeal,” Ancelotti confirmed. “I don’t think there will be a sanction for him. We think it was not a red card.” The club is hoping to have the red card overturned before their next match, avoiding a potential suspension for their key player.
The incident highlights the ongoing debate surrounding player behavior and refereeing decisions in high-stakes football matches. The appeal process will undoubtedly be closely watched by fans and analysts alike, as it could set a precedent for future similar situations.
