Spanish football president Luis Rubiales, has revealed his surprise at the La Liga’s decision to rescind the red card shown to Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr.
Vinicius was shown a red card against Valencia, in a series of events that started after he was racially abused by Valencia fans.
Speaking on La Liga’s decision to overturn Vinicius Jr’s suspension, the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) president Luis Rubiales, revealed his surprise at the decision.
He said: “Resolutions have often come out of this and other committees with which I have fully or partially agreed.
“Other times, no, and, the truth is, this has surprised me a lot. The more I read, I did not understand some of the things that were decided, but they must be followed and in the resolution itself, the argument is established, with which you can be in agreement or not.”
The Spanish FA president also kicked against the racial abuse Vinicius has faced this season, adding: “There is a problem of education and behaviour. This affects society and also those who go to football not to encourage but to insult.
“Violence is intolerable and racism is a type of violence. I already said that this is bad for a team, a city and a country and it’s something very unfair, but we can’t allow an entire society to be unfairly singled out.”
