The decision of the Competition Committee to annul Vinicius’s red card causes perplexity and indignation (except at Real Madrid)

The decision, the speed and the argumentation in the withdrawal of the red card to vinicius by the Competition Committee they have caused perplexity and at the same time indignation in many protagonists of Spanish football. Late at night, the three members of said committee gave the impression of falling under the influence of Madrid media pressure and Florentino Perez and they chose to annul the expulsion of the Brazilian striker. In its statement last night, in which it dared to make the performance of the VAR referee and the pitch ugly, the Committee seemed to justify the Madrid striker’s attack on Hugo Duro for the racist insults received in mestalla.

One of the notable figures in Spanish football to raise his voice was Xavi Hernandez after Barça’s game against Valladolid. “It is inevitable that there was an attack, it surprises me. One thing has nothing to do with the other,” he commented, alluding to the verbal attacks from the stands that obviously had nothing to do with Vinicius’s nudge against Duro. The decision of the Competition Committee is historic since it annuls the sanction of an aggression in which there is graphic evidence.

The criminal lawyer is validating a club that calls a referee a prevaricator”.
