What did Vinicius say after being sent off against Villarreal?
New footage from the "DAZN" network captures Vinicius Junior's reaction after being sent off during Real Madrid's match against Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu, which ended with the royal team winning by a goal to nil, according to "Mundo Deportivo".
Vinicius Junior received a straight red card from referee Díaz de Mera after pulling the hair of a Villarreal player, before the Video Assistant Referee intervened and called the referee to review the incident, leading to the decision to send off the Brazilian player.
Vinicius Junior showed his anger after the red card, repeatedly asking, "A red card? A red card?" before directing his question to the referee: "Why are you doing this?" Meanwhile, his teammates tried to calm him down, while Jude Bellingham expressed his disagreement, stating: "This is no longer football."
As he was heading to the dressing room, Vinicius Junior said: "What madness," before pushing one of the LaLiga staff members present behind the VAR screens.
The same source clarified that the official was the match director, noting that Vinicius said to him: "a disgraceful league". Meanwhile, the referee was explaining his decision to Kylian Mbappé, while Marc Cucurella protested the red card.
