Painted in a lonesome with Real Madrid’s Vinicius. Not only was he severely discriminated against in the defeat to Valencia, the Brazilian winger also faced a three-match ban for slapping Hugo Duro. That means Vinicius could be sidelined for the rest of the season.

In the 0-1 loss to Valencia at the Mestella Stadium in round 35 La Liga 2022/23, Vini was sent off by the referee Burgos Bengoetxea in the 7th minute of stoppage time because he slapped Duro player in the face of the home team. home after the action comes from an attempt to get rid of the opponent’s “necklace” .

Because of this behavior, La Liga’s Disciplinary Committee may issue a 3-match ban for Vinicius. This is also the number of remaining rounds of La Liga this season. As reported by the referee Bengoetxea after the match, there would be no more severe punishment than a three-match suspension for Vini.

Real Madrid regime.

In the Bengoetxea referee’s report, there is a “nuance” that could be a lighter penalty than expected when he only talked about the act of “hit” and not “aggression, agitation”. Because these two acts have very different punishments.

According to the first clause, article 130.2 of the sanctioning rules, an act of violence that does not result in harm or injury to an opponent, and occurs when the ball is out of play or the game has ended, is forfeited. suspended from 2 to 3 matches.

In the case of “aggression, agitation”, the sanction will be from 4-12 matches, depending on the level of “malicious”, the circumstances causing the player’s behavior related to the penalty. Thus, it is likely that Vinicus will receive a 3-match suspension and rest until the end of the season in La Liga 2022/23.
