Real Madrid star, Vinicius Junior, received his first La Liga red card for slapping Valencia star, Hugo Duro, during a match last night. The incident unfolded when Vinicius was dribbling down Real Madrid's left side and a second ball was thrown onto the pitch from the crowd. Valencia defender Eray Comert attempted to kick the ball off but accidentally struck it at Vinicius, resulting in a yellow card for Comert and a free kick for Madrid. However, the situation escalated when Vinicius pointed out a fan in the crowd, indicating that something had been said. Discussions took place with teammates and referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea, and despite the option to suspend play, the game continued with warnings issued about racist abuse over the stadium loudspeaker.

In added time, a brawl erupted in the Valencia box, culminating in Vinicius being shown a red card for slapping Hugo Duro.

Various videos and tweets highlight the racial abuse Vinicius has endured, with images capturing him being choked by an opponent. The incidents have sparked widespread criticism, raising concerns about the deteriorating state of affairs in La Liga and the urgent need to address and prevent such deplorable treatment.
