Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid Receives Two-Match Ban Following Red Card

Real Madrid winger Vinicius Junior has been handed a two-match ban in La Liga following his red card incident against Valencia last week. The Brazilian player was found guilty of shoving goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski in the back of the neck after being pushed by the Valencia stopper. Despite Vinicius' dismissal, Real Madrid managed to secure a 2-1 victory over Valencia and climb to the top of the league standings.

Vinicius will miss upcoming league games against Las Palmas and Real Valladolid but is able to play in the Spanish Super Cup this week in Saudi Arabia, with Madrid facing Mallorca on Thursday in the semi-finals.
