With the Spanish Super Cup on the horizon, Vinícius Júnior received a two-match ban for Real Madrid after he was sent off against Valencia at the weekend.
Real Madrid are off to Saudi Arabia to defend their Spanish Super Cup title less than one week after Vinícius Júnior received a straight red card in La Liga. The Brazilian left Real Madrid with 10 men against Valencia after he shoved goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski in the back of the head at the Mestalla. Los Blancos went on to win the match 1–2, but their victory was marred by a looming suspension for their best player.
Vinícius Júnior was still able to feature in Real Madrid's 0–5 Copa del Rey victory against Deportiva Minera as he awaited his fate from the Spanish Soccer Federation’s Competition Committee. One day later, the Brazilian was handed a two-match ban with the Spanish Super Cup up first on Real Madrid's match calendar.
