Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior has been issued a four-game ban by the Spanish football federation following a red card incident against Villarreal. The disciplinary action includes two matches for pulling an opponent's hair and two additional games for aggressive behavior toward the referee. This suspension forces the player to miss the upcoming El Clasico against Barcelona. Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho expressed strong disapproval regarding the timing of the announcement, which occurred shortly before the team's Champions League fixture against Roma. Mourinho criticized the federation for the lack of consideration shown to the club during a critical period of the season. Despite the controversy, the forward participated in the match against Roma. Furthermore, the coach voiced concerns regarding the demanding schedule of upcoming domestic and European fixtures, citing insufficient recovery time for his squad.
