Vinicius Jr at Real Madrid · 16 October 2026
Vinicius banned four games, misses the Clasico
Vinicius has been banned for four LaLiga matches for the red card in the 1-0 win over Villarreal on 10 October. The ruling came on Wednesday 14 October and settles the question left open in the last report. Real Madrid had made representations to cut it, and several Spanish and Latin American outlets say the sanction stood.
The outlets agree on the breakdown, which comes from referee Isidro Díaz de Mera's match report. Two games are for violent conduct, the hair pull on Nathan Saliba away from the ball, and two more are for protesting to the officials. Earlier coverage had expected one to three games under Article 130.
He misses Sevilla (18 October), Barcelona (25 October, the Clasico at Camp Nou), Racing Santander (1 November) and Valencia (7 November). The ban covers LaLiga only, so he stays available for Champions League matches.
I found no official committee statement in the results, so the figures rest on press reports that match each other. Whether Real Madrid appeal further is not reported.
