Rayo Vallecano chief bites back over Vinicius Junior relegation mocking

Real Madrid's 3-3 draw with Rayo Vallecano in La Liga has sparked controversy, particularly involving Vinicius Junior.

Despite Real’s efforts to close the title gap on Barcelona, the match ended in a draw after Rayo’s second-half rally.

Vinicius, who did not start, came on as a late substitute and was booked for dissent after reacting angrily to a decision.

His fifth yellow card of the season means he will miss the final league match against Sevilla.

The Rayo fans jeered him, and he responded with a mocking gesture, leading to criticism from Rayo's president, Raul Martin Presa, who condemned Vinicius’ behavior, calling it inappropriate. La Liga may take further action.
