Real Madrid will be without Vinícius Júnior moving forward after the winger received a straight red card against Valencia.
Tensions reached a boiling point for Vinícius Júnior at the Mestalla. What started as a sluggish night for Real Madrid ended as a disaster for the Brazilian. Stole Dimitrievski taunted Vinícius Júnior, prompting the 24-year-old to jump from the ground and shove the goalkeeper in the back of the head.
Referee Cesar Soto Grado reviewed the incident and ultimately decided to give Dimitrievski a yellow card and send Vinícius Júnior off. The Real Madrid winger had to be held back from the official and taken down the tunnel in the 79th minute.
Carlo Ancelotti confirmed Real Madrid will appeal the decision, but should the red card stand, Vinícius Júnior is looking at a multi-match suspension.
