Vinicius was allegedly the victim of racist abuse from Valencia fans. At the end of extra time (90+7), the young Brazilian striker was sent off after a general brawl.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti strongly condemned this situation. The Brazilian striker's teammates have also given him their support. Valencia CF said it "publicly condemns any kind of insult, attack or contempt" and "regrets the facts that occurred" in Sunday's match at Mestalla. The club is investigating the events that took place.
