Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior changed his tune after the first game of 2025, having generally been reticent to admit fault in his grievances with referees. However after being sent off against Valencia, he did apologise to his teammates on social media.
The Brazilian had received 8 yellow cards in his 20 appearances this season before their trip to Mestalla, most of which for dissent, and against Valencia lost his cool again. After chants of ‘stupid’ and ‘beach ball’ [referencing the golden ball or Ballon d’Or] throughout the game, Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski got in his face to demand that he get to his feet after going down in the box.
Vinicius fell into the trap though, pushing his hands into Dimitrievski’s face. Upon a VAR review, Vinicius was dismissed. After Los Blancos came out victorious courtesy of a Jude Bellingham stoppage time winner, Vinicius wrote ‘sorry and thank you team’ on his X/Twitter account.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti called the sending off unfair in the aftermath, and has said that Los Blancos would be appealing, although on what grounds he did not say.

I am one of the people that always support him, but he also needs to work on himself, it is very important because it's looking bad already he should stop letting others get into his head
Definitely you’re right. If he’s doesn’t stop, he gonna be done. He is perfect player but he supposed to work to the emotion.

Yes Vini was wrong but the goalkeeper was wrong too for his provocative behaviour. But Spain doesn't like blacks and so are their referees.
youre making this about what it isn't. was Bellingham not kicked over and over? was rodrygo not kicked and pushed all through the match? if Vini doesn't want to be touched , he should go from football to gulf. Simple!!!! don't be part of the problem be a solution....

Nowadays we try to face the problem instead of facing the source of he problem, Spanish players knew Vinicius is very short tempered of which it is normal to me because that’s nature, that’s why they always keep provoking him, so sometimes the provokers should also be banned just for games and to avoid unnecessary dramas, we just come here with racism based comments without analyzing the incident well, naturally we react differently when provoked, so banning and punishing Vinicius will not help, but rather facing those who tempt him will help since they are seem to be taking advantage now of his tamper.
well said,

As much as I'm a fan of Madrid and Vini for life, I must say this" Vini is another balotelli loading, another robhinho loading. These players were at their prime and we're on their way to being the best ever, but bcos they could not take their demons and take lessons in anger management, they lost everything. Money isn't always everything, ask these players they'll tell you they wish they had stopped poking the Bear. You make an enemy of the refs and the fans, you'll Never be treated fairly again. Unfortunately Madrid has only been able to manage 1 player's anger issue and that's Pepe, they failed with robhinho and today he's in prison for issues he shouldn't be. Balloteli is being switched from clubs to clubs cos no coach wants his s**t anymore. I won't be surprised if Perez starts to work on his exit after yesterday's rage.

Vin is doing too much, previously we are supporting him that he is being bullied but he needs to go for anger management course if not it will affect his career. He cannot just continue like this.

The referees should also punish those who make him loose his temper, it's thier duty on the field of play. Why only Vini get punish all the time while his victims are free? They don't like him in Spain period
Doesn’t work that way but then. You sound sensible

Ancelotti is all behind Vini's disgusting Behavior. He is always defending him instead of scolding him for his annoying behavior. Only stupid Madrid fans would be defending Vini's behavior. Nonsense!

They take advantage of him, the goal keeper knew he would react. to me just foolish to vini's part to react in every situation, all teams knows it and they take advantage of his reaction, watch Jude when such happens he just smile and let go but him it's another story, the guy just need to change, he is a dependable figure there, we need him always. now we are talking of 4 games maybe over things that can be avoided. that's just stupid.

I love some Mardrid fans here for their honesty comment about this guy Vinis. Is a good player but he needs to control himself. And more so Mr Carlos needs to guide him. He still has a long way to go. People's we frustrate you and makes you angry, But you needs to compost and ignore them sometimes. All this will tanish your image as footballer
