Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti claims Vinicius Junior ban is ‘not right’

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti criticized Vinicius Junior's two-game ban for a red card against Valencia, stating that the sanction was "not correct."

Ancelotti emphasized the difficulties Vinicius faces, particularly regarding the insults he receives, noting that managing his reactions is not a priority since the team is happy with him.

The Brazilian forward was banned after pushing Stole Dimitrievski in the face, though Real Madrid alleged that racial abuse had provoked his response.

Ancelotti reiterated that focusing on Vinicius’ provocations diverts attention from the abuse he endures.

The Spanish Football Federation rejected the idea that racial insults justified his actions, and La Liga's report did not include racist comments despite noting other derogatory chants against Real Madrid.
