(opens the publisher’s site)Mourinho criticized the Spanish Football Federation for announcing Vinícius Júnior's four-match suspension two hours before Real Madrid's Champions League match against Roma.
- Vinícius was sent off in Saturday's 1-0 La Liga win over Villarreal for pulling an opponent's hair, earning a four-match ban from the Spanish federation.
- Mourinho called the announcement, made under two hours before kickoff, disrespectful and said the federation "is acting without shame."
- Real Madrid overturned a 3-1 deficit to beat Roma 4-3 in Wednesday's Champions League match, taking six points from their first two league-phase fixtures.
- Mourinho called the fixture schedule "not innocent," with Real Madrid facing AEK Athens on Wednesday and Valencia on Saturday.
- Vinícius broke his silence, denying any violent act and urging referees to protect creative players like Lamine Yamal and Julián Álvarez.
- Endrick called the four-match ban 'crazy' and said his teammates had expected only a two-match suspension.
- Real Madrid appealed the suspension, based on Articles 130 and 127, with a stay deemed unlikely before the Clásico.
- Spanish media reported the ban's delayed announcement stemmed from Monday's Columbus Day holiday, which pushed the deadline for club arguments to Wednesday.
- Vinícius acknowledged he has not scored since August and is in a form slump, but insisted he is confident he will recover.
- Vinícius said his four-match suspension means he will miss the La Liga Clásico at Barcelona on 25 October.
