Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr could face further disciplinary action following his red card, with the referee’s report reportedly raising concerns over the Brazilian forward’s behaviour after his dismissal.
The incident has also sparked discussions about his availability for the upcoming El Clásico against Barcelona.
According to the reports, the referee described Vinicius’ attitude as aggressive after showing him the red card. The official reportedly stated that the Real Madrid forward continued protesting the decision, shouting loudly and moving towards the referee despite having already been sent off.
The report further claimed that Vinicius had to be restrained by his teammates as the situation unfolded. The referee also mentioned that he could not understand any specific expression used by the Brazilian during the confrontation.

The referee’s report could prove crucial in determining whether Vinicius receives an additional suspension. While a red card already carries disciplinary consequences, the details included in the official report could influence the final punishment, depending on the applicable regulations and the disciplinary committee’s assessment.
Real Madrid will be particularly concerned about the possibility of losing one of their most influential attacking players for El Clásico. Vinicius has established himself as a key figure in the team’s forward line, using his pace, dribbling ability and creativity to trouble opposition defences.
A potential absence against Barcelona would be a significant setback for the Spanish giants, given the importance of the fixture in their campaign.
