Decision Real Madrid's Made with Vinícius after the Red Card at Mestalla

One of the events of Valencia-Real Madrid, which the white club ended up turning around in wingeris thanks to Bellingham's goal in the 96th minute, is Vinícius's expulsion. The white club's '7' left the fame early after his push to Stole Dimitrievski's face.

The Macedonian goalkeeper, who had provoked this reaction from the Meringue attacker, only saw a yellow card for that action. However, Real Madrid is clear that it will appeal the red card that Soto Grado showed to one of its best players... awaiting the Competition Committee's meeting next Tuesday, January 7th.

It will be then when the possible sanctions for all the incidents that occurred before, during, and after the game will be assessed. That includes the offensive chants against Real Madrid heard around the Mestalla stadium an hour before the start of the game.

The information published by the newspaper As confirms what Carlo Ancelotti stated during the post-game press conference against Valencia. The Reggiolo coach assured that "we're going to appeal" that direct red because, according to the Italian strategist, the play should have been solved with a yellow card for each player.

Soto Grado's criteria, who understands that Vinícius's gesture is violent conduct and not aggression, could leave him out for up to two matches from the merengue sports discipline. This sports daily, at the same time, makes it clear that the hopes in the Valdebebas offices are practically nil.

The executives led by Florentino Pérez are very clear that the Competition Committee's verdict will be unfavorable to Vinícius despite their appeals. They believe that "it's unlikely" that these appeals can influence the final verdict as they did in the debates over his expulsion in May 2023.

However, Real Madrid will have to adapt once again to playing without one of its most decisive and unbalancing players. Carlo Ancelotti will have to revisit the tactical approaches used against clubs like Sevilla to correct a starting eleven that always has the São Gonçalo striker as an offensive reference.

It's Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé's time again. The English midfielder is meeting expectations, leading the white team even in the worst moments: it was seen in Mestalla, taking a key role in the comeback. Many expect the Bondy striker to do so soon, although it doesn't seem like that will happen in the upcoming matches.
