Valencia – Real: Vinicius’ fight with Mamardashvili – Duro and the racist attacks from the fans
Vinicius and Giorgi Mamardashvili clashed, Hugo Duro intervened and the final of Valencia’s game against Real was in turmoil.
Valencia’s clash with Real was episodic and featured an intense finale with Vinicius at its heart. The Brazilian striker was sent off in added time after a brawl also involving Fledermaus players (the hosts eventually won 1-0).
The episode at the end started with a hard foul from Vinicius, where Giorgi Mamardashvili ran up to him and demanded that he speak. Antonio Riediger tried to stop Valencia’s Georgia goalkeeper and Hugo Duro caught Vinicius in a headlock and pulled him away from his team-mate.
The rest of the players rushed to the spot to separate Mamardashvili and Vinicius. But when they did, Duro still had the Brazil Real forward in a headlock from behind, who turned and punched him in the face.
Asked to check the phase via VIDEO after being informed by VAR, the referee gave Vinicius a red card for hitting the opponent.
Vinicius: “The price for the racists was my expulsion”
However, the 22-year-old international was in the spotlight from the start of the game. As Thibaut Courtois complained, Valencia fans made monkey noises at Vinicius from the 20th minute, calling him both “monkey” and “stupid”.
Vinicius himself was posted via Instagram story shortly after the game ended. “The prize the racists won was my expulsion. This is not football, this is La Liga.” He wrote a story on a black background.
Valencia convicted
Valencia issued a statement after the game condemning the racist behavior of some of their fans and saying they had not expressed it as a club.
“Although it is an isolated case, insults against players of the opposing team have no place in football and do not fit with the values and identity of Valencia. The club is investigating what happened and will take the toughest measures.” is emphasized in the announcement, among other things.

Real Madrid have 20-year-old Robert Renan on their shortlist for central defense
Real Madrid have suffered a major blow to their central defense due to injuries and one of the things they have on their list ahead of January is the loan of 20-year-old Brazilian central defender Robert Renan from Zenit.
After the serious injuries to David Alaba and Ender Militao, Real Madrid have entered the transfer market to sign a central defender.
One of the cases that the Merengues are considering, according to AS, is 20-year-old Brazilian central defender Robert Renan, who plays for Zenit St. Petersburg. Madrid initially wants to bring him in with a loan and a purchase option for next summer.
The young footballer is exactly the right person to strengthen the Merengues as he is left-footed and can develop into a very good footballer. This particular formula would also satisfy Zenit, but there is a non-football problem.
Groups linked to the Russian state continue to face sanctions from the European Union (and the US) over the military invasion of Ukraine. Specifically, teams cannot receive an amount over 108,000 euros.
Zenit is owned by Gazprom, one of the most famous oil companies (in the world) controlled by the Russian state.

Barcelona is threatened with exclusion from the new Champions League because of FFP
According to the German newspaper “Die Welt”, Barcelona is threatened with exclusion from the new Champions League due to violations of Financial Fair Play. However, the Catalans are not aware of the specific risk.
A few hours after the legal recognition before the Court of Justice of the European Union of the European Super League, a project that Barcelona and Real Madrid have “operated” from the beginning until today, the Blaugrana are in adventure.
A publication by German newspaper Die Welt reports that the Catalans are at risk of being banned from the new Champions League (for up to three years) due to Financial Fair Play violations. Barcelona announced gigantic profits (a whopping 304 million euros), but according to the report, UEFA will audit the finances as the income must only come from “football activities”.
Barcelona reported on its balance sheet revenue from “Barca Studios”, the project that manages the team’s audiovisual material, such as the team’s official channel (Barca TV).
Sources in Barcelona management told Mundo Deportivo that they were unaware of the scenario in question.
