Real Madrid in turmoil: Vinicius' red card appeal and calls for radical change in Spanish refereeing
Real Madrid are in a state of anger and resentment after the controversial events that took place in their postponed match against Valencia in the 12th round of La Liga, which ended with the expulsion of their Brazilian star Vinicius Junior. The main reason for the controversy was the focus of the match referee, Stoto Grado, and the video assistant referee (VAR) on Vinicius' actions without taking into account the provocations issued by Valencia goalkeeper, Georgi Dimitrievski.
The Royal Club has decided to file an official appeal against the expulsion, based on the existence of clear provocations towards the player, which it hopes will help reduce or cancel the potential penalty.
On a broader level, Real Madrid seems determined to push for radical changes to the Spanish refereeing system, which has become the subject of repeated criticism due to the many errors and problems that affect the course of matches and their results. This position reflects the club's growing frustration with the current state of refereeing in La Liga.
How do you see the possibility of Real Madrid succeeding in its appeal and changing the refereeing system?
