In the 73rd minute, Vinicius pulled the hair of Villarreal defender Nathan Saliba as both sprinted down the wing moments before a goal was scored.

Referee Isidro Diaz de Mera disallowed the goal and issued a straight red card.
speaker_4NARRATOR
The disciplinary committee ruled that two matches of the suspension apply directly to the hair-pulling tug and an additional two matches for his subsequent heated protests as teammates escorted him off the pitch.

Addressing the severity of the sanction, Vinicius questioned the historical precedent of such a harsh ban while emphasizing what he feels is targeted narrative treatment.
Kay MurrayHOST
Because before the game, we heard that he had received his punishment, which is a four-game ban after he was sent off for this hair-pulling incident against Villarreal on Nathan Saliba at the weekend.
Kay MurrayHOST
So it's a minimum two-game suspension for the hair pull and a further two-game ban for the conduct after the red card towards the referee there, Isidro Díaz de Mera.
Kay MurrayHOST
So that's what it's looking like now.

Real Madrid will appeal.

defender Nathan Saliba off the ball as they sprinted down the flank moments before a goal was chalked off by Villar.

Second, an additional two-match ban was handed down for his aggressive outbursts directed toward referee Isidro Diaz de Mera following the dismissal, where he had to be physically held back by teammates on the pitch.

The ruling serves as a massive blow to Jose Mourinho's side as Los Blancos aim to keep pace in the title race.

Most notably, the four-game suspension officially rules Vinicius out of the highly anticipated El Clasico against league leaders Barcelona at Camp Nou on October 25.
Graham HunterHOST
The goal which he and Bellingham sculpted between them was really, really good, but it was aided by the fact that Vinicius stupidly, inexplicably tugged the hair of Saliba during the midfield buildup to Madrid apparently making it two-nil.
Graham HunterHOST
I honestly think it was quite a good spot by the VAR team to see what the Brazilian did, but when they advised on-pitch referee, Diaz de Mera, all hell broke loose and is still breaking loose.
Graham HunterHOST
The Special One's had already been making a chump out of himself with ridiculously exaggerated complaints to the refereeing team and to the Villarreal bench.
Graham HunterHOST
All this blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Graham HunterHOST
He does this when he knows his arse is hanging out the window, and frankly, right now you can see the whole of the moon.
Graham HunterHOST
He'd already been booked, so when Vinicius scored that lovely goal, the fact that Mourinho sprinted half the pitch and joined in the goal celebrations in front of the fans was, I think, a bookable offense as far as the laws are concerned.
Graham HunterHOST
But Diaz de Mera chose to ignore that.

And then before a restart could take place, the reexamination of the action showed Vinicius' aggression on the Canadian midfielder.
