Vinicius Junior's confidence was evident in the tunnel before the match, where he stated that scoring a goal would unsettle Valencia, saying, "We score a goal and they sh*t themselves." His prediction held true as Real Madrid turned the game around with late goals from Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham, the latter having previously missed a penalty. Vinicius was sent off during the game but expressed his apologies on social media afterward.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti backed Vinicius Junior after his sending off, claiming the incident was deserving of a yellow card rather than a red. He stated, "It wasn't a red, it was a yellow," demonstrating his support for the Brazilian amidst the incident. Additionally, Ancelotti addressed the team's penalty issues, expressing concern over having missed three penalties this season.
