La Liga
The latest news about Real Madrid brings very bad news for the club. The Mourinho's team has received confirmation of the 4-game suspension imposed on Vinícius, aged 26, following his expulsion in the eighth match against Villarreal. This decision, officialized on October 14, 2026, sparked a strong reaction from Real Madrid TV journalists like Paul Tenorio and David Álvarez.
A hard blow for both the player, who has not had a great start to the season, and for Real Madrid itself. Mourinho will have to make many changes for the Clásico against FC Barcelona, the most important match that the Brazilian will miss.
Paul Tenorio criticizes LaLiga and describes the situation as a "stinkhole"
Journalist Paul Tenorio commented on the suspension imposed on Vinícius, criticizing the criteria applied by disciplinary bodies compared to the episodes of harassment that the Brazilian suffers on the field. Tenorio expressed that giving 4 games to the most targeted player in the competition is an unexpected iron-fist treatment, while his harassers go unpunished. In fact, he pointed out that the forward did not jeopardize anyone's physical integrity or honor, defining the current situation as a real "stinkhole."
4 games for the most assaulted and insulted player in LaLiga. His harassers never face sanctions, but an iron fist with Vinicius. Although he did not put at risk anyone's physical integrity or honor, as they do to him. Tremendous stinkhole. Only the UCO remains

"His harassers never face sanctions, but an iron fist with Vinícius. Although he did not put at risk anyone's physical integrity or honor, as they do to him. Tremendous stinkhole," stated Tenorio when analyzing the ruling.
David Álvarez joins the protests and denounces an "institutional hunt"
On his part, David Álvarez reacted with the same severity upon learning of the confirmation of the verdict. In his opinion, sidelining the attacker from competition for a month is equivalent to a maneuver directed straight from the sports institutions. Álvarez stated that the resolution borders absolute disgrace and did not hesitate to classify the decision taken by the Committee as an "institutional hunt" against the Madrid player.
"4 games suspension for Vinicius. What disgrace. Institutional hunt," expressed the journalist through his official channels to criticize the severity of the disciplinary resolution.
4 games suspension for Vinicius. What disgrace. Institutional hunt.

Details of the expulsion and the matches the Brazilian will miss
The possibility that Vinícius would receive only between one and three games was on everyone's lips within Chamartín's entity, but the referee Isidro Díaz de Mera Escuderos' report ended up leaning towards the maximum penalty. The forward saw a red card at minute 72 of the match against Villarreal for grabbing midfielder Nathan Saliba's hair when the ball was not in dispute, resulting in 2 games for the action and another 2 games for his attitude after being expelled.
Real Madrid will face the upcoming commitments without the attacker in their ranks. The '7' will not be available against Sevilla on October 18, against FC Barcelona on October 25, versus Racing de Santander on November 1, and against Valencia on November 7. The board is considering appealing to the Appeals Committee to try to reduce the suspension before the match at the Camp Nou.
