Vinícius broke the silence after confirming the 4-game suspension imposed by the LaLiga Disciplinary Committee following his expulsion against Villarreal. Breaking news at Real Madrid

The Brazilian international learned of the official resolution just upon arriving at the stadium in Italy before the 3-4 victory over AS Roma in the Champions League, showing his discontent at being sidelined for the league matches against Sevilla, FC Barcelona, Racing de Santander, and Valencia.

Vinícius' explanations on the LaLiga disciplinary sanction

The 26-year-old forward defended his behavior during the clash against Villarreal, where he received a red card for an incident with Nathan Saliba and subsequent protests to referee Isidro Díaz de Mera Escuderos. "They had the whole day to announce the suspension, and just when I arrive at the stadium, I get the message that I'm out for four league games; I don't understand why," expressed the Real Madrid player, adding that he has never been violent towards an opponent.

The Brazilian winger noted that he has scored over 100 goals since joining the Chamartín club at 18 years old, trusting to regain his best footballing form.

Views on the Bernabéu jeers and José Mourinho's substitution

Regarding his performance on the pitch, the forward was substituted in the 58th minute by José Mourinho's decision when the scoreline was 3-1 against. After Endrick and Carlos Espí came in, the Madrid team completed the comeback to seal the final 3-4 victory with a late goal by Antonio Rüdiger.

"I'd rather they jeer at me than at the young players on the team who are here for the future," stated the player in reference to the fans' demands, embracing his role as a veteran within the squad.

The board of Real Madrid will file an appeal with the Appeals Committee to try to reduce the 4-match ban imposed on the Brazilian player.

If the disciplinary body upholds the initial penalty, José Mourinho will maintain the offensive rotation with Endrick and Carlos Espí over the next four rounds of the domestic league.
