Vinícius Júnior apologized after being sent off for shoving Valencia's goalkeeper in Real Madrid’s 2-1 comeback victory. Despite playing with 10 men, Luka Modrić equalized, and Jude Bellingham secured a dramatic injury-time winner. The Brazilian winger acknowledged his mistake on social media, highlighting the team’s resilience in the La Liga clash.
Real Madrid's Vinícius Júnior has issued an apology to fans after being sent off during an intense La Liga match against Valencia on Friday. The Brazilian forward received a red card for shoving Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski in the head during a heated moment, leaving Real Madrid with only 10 players and trailing 1-0. Despite the setback, Carlo Ancelotti's side mounted a remarkable comeback. Luka Modrić equalized, and Jude Bellingham clinched victory with a dramatic 95th-minute goal, securing a 2-1 win.
The incident drew attention to Vinícius' fiery temperament, but the 24-year-old, who has been in stellar form this season with eight goals and seven assists, took to social media to address the situation. In a brief statement on X, he wrote, "Sorry and thanks team!!" acknowledging his mistake and appreciating his teammates' resilience.
Real Madrid now turns its focus to upcoming fixtures, starting with Deportivo Minera in the Copa del Rey on Monday, followed by a clash against Mallorca in the Supercopa de España semi-final. The team will hope to maintain its momentum despite Vinícius’ absence due to the suspension.
