In the seventh round of La Liga, Real Madrid secured a 3-2 victory against Alavés, but the match was not without its share of contentious moments.

On the 30th minute, Vinícius Júnior received a yellow card for his protests towards the referee. In stoppage time, Carlo Ancelotti opted to substitute him, and as the Brazilian made his way to the bench, he ironically smiled and applauded the fourth official. This behavior could have warranted another yellow card, but the officials chose to overlook it.

Details: According to Sport.es, Vinícius's actions have not sat well with the coaching staff and his teammates. Ancelotti, along with his assistant son, has already attempted to address this issue with the Brazilian, expressing concerns that his antics could jeopardize the team in crucial moments. However, these conversations have yet to significantly influence Vinícius's conduct.

Additionally, AS reports that Vinícius currently has a total of 49 yellow cards in his career, having been sent off only twice. There are growing concerns that his fiery temperament could flare up again during the upcoming match against Atlético, especially given the tense atmosphere typically associated with this rivalry.

Reminder: Carlo Ancelotti intends to extend his contract with the "Royal Club," and Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is pleased with the Italian manager's performance.
