Vinicius Junior has been handed a two-game suspension for pushing Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski. His ban was shortened from at least four games based on provocation claims.
The RFEF deemed Vinicius's actions as 'violent behaviour' rather than aggression, indicating a more lenient view of his conduct during the match.
Real Madrid plans to appeal the suspension, asserting that Vinicius was provoked by Dimitrievski’s taunting and was also targeted with racist abuse prior to the incident.
Despite avoiding a lengthy ban, Vinicius will miss La Liga matches against Las Palmas and Real Valladolid, but can participate in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final.
