Real Madrid's Brazilian forward Vinícius Júnior will have to serve a four-match suspension for his straight red card expulsion in the last La Liga matchday against Villarreal. This means he will miss the El Clásico against Barça at the Camp Nou on Sunday, October 25th.

Vinícius Júnior finds it practically impossible to play in the classic on October 25th against Barça. The Brazilian footballer's expulsion in the Real Madrid - Villarreal (1-0) match, after pulling defender Nathan Saliba's hair, will foreseeably lead to a suspension of between two and three games. The action occurred in the 73rd minute, when Vinícius scored a goal that would have meant 2-0. José Mourinho ran to the corner to celebrate it but, meanwhile, the referee was waiting for the VAR's approval. It did not seem that there was any reviewable action but, surprisingly, the referee went to the monitor on the recommendation of Alejandro Muñiz Ruiz. The Galician showed him the images of the violent conduct and the verdict unleashed the storm: goal disallowed and a direct red card.

Today is a day when culers, and anti-Madridistas in general, can sit back and eat popcorn while the White House implodes. The refusal of Mbappé, Vinícius, and Konaté to wear a solidarity shirt with Ceuta before the match against Elche has sparked an authentic pitched battle on social media and has fractured Madridismo into two irreconcilable camps. On one hand, there are those who consider these three players traitors to Spain and to the values of the club that pays them, and who, therefore, must be expelled from Real Madrid. And then there are those who consider that politics and sports should not be mixed and downplay it. What is happening? Well, the former are the ones who identify most with the stances of the PP and Vox, and accuse the latter (and the players themselves) of playing into Pedro Sánchez's hands. This is how, for example, Zabala de la Serna writes in El Mundo.

Real Madrid wins with a penalty, momentarily closing the gap on Barcelona, but their performance is far from convincing (2-0). The Bernabéu has delivered its verdict after the elimination from the Copa del Rey at the hands of Albacete (3-2)The dismissal of Xabi Alonso, combined with Álvaro Arbeloa's first match – which failed to impress – has provoked a reaction from Real Madrid fans, who have targeted Vinícius, Bellingham, and the new manager with constant whistles every time they touched the ball or appeared on the video screens. In the opening minutes of the match against Levante, the Bernabéu crowd chanted slogans directed at the presidential box and waved white handkerchiefs, calling for the president's resignation. This is not the only act of protest seen recently in Madrid, as several banners against Florentino Pérez have appeared in the city in the last few hours. "Super League, parking, stadium... From failure to failure, a finished president," one of these posters read..

"Speak now, speak now," Vinícius told Lamine Yamal. And the player from Rocafonda summoned the Brazilian in the locker room tunnel, away from the cameras. After winning the first Clásico in months, Real Madrid threw a big party on the Santiago Bernabéu pitch, but many Real Madrid players preferred to go after Lamine Yamal immediately after the match. Their priority was to poke the young Barça player, rather than celebrate the victory. Lamine's words Yamal on a Kings League show, A competition in which he presides over a team and who, with an ironic tone, said that Real Madrid usually enjoys the referee's favor, was hounded throughout the match. At the end of the match, most of the protagonists tried to calm things down, following the sad images on the pitch. Only Tchouaméni spoke openly, and he didn't do so to attack Lamine Yamal; quite the opposite. He came to say that he likes it when players say things like that.

Real Madrid will go into Sunday's Clásico as the top team after a controversial victory at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez against a Getafe side that was hampered by Nyom's immediate dismissal after less than a minute on the pitch. It was with 15 minutes remaining when the home player made a mistake and blocked Vinícius's goal with his arm, but the incident only resulted in a yellow card. Munuero Montero showed him a straight red card, and VAR didn't review the incident. Two minutes later, Mbappé found the net—and scored his tenth La Liga goal—after a fine assist from Arda Güler.
