Apologies And Appeals: Vinicius Reacts To Shocking Red Card vs. Valencia

Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior has issued a public apology following his red card during the dramatic La Liga clash against Valencia on Friday night,…

January 3, 2025.

The match at Mestalla was a rollercoaster of emotions for the Madrid team. Valencia took an early lead through Hugo Duro, putting the visitors on the back foot. The second half saw Jude Bellingham missing a penalty and Kylian Mbappé having a goal ruled out for offside.

Controversy struck when Vinicius received a red card after an altercation with Valencia’s goalkeeper, Stole Dimitrievski. Despite the setback, Real Madrid showcased incredible resilience. Luka Modric equalized in the 85th minute, and Jude Bellingham redeemed himself by scoring the match-winner in added time, sealing a 2-1 victory.

The win elevated Real Madrid to the top of the La Liga table, two points ahead of Atlético Madrid, although the latter has a game in hand.

After the game, Vinicius took to social media platform X to express his remorse, writing, “Sorry, and thanks team!!!!!!”

Manager Carlo Ancelotti defended the young star, calling the red card decision unfair and confirming the club’s intention to appeal. “It wasn’t a red card for Vinicius Jr. We will appeal,” Ancelotti said. “The goalkeeper pushed him, and Vini responded. It should’ve been a yellow for both, and that’s it.”

As Real Madrid celebrates their hard-fought victory, the appeal process will determine whether Vinicius will be available for upcoming matches as they aim to maintain their position at the top of La Liga.
