Mourinho Skips Press Conference After Vinicius Red Card in Real Madrid Win
José Mourinho did not attend his post-match press conference after Real Madrid’s tense 1-0 La Liga victory over Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu. Vinicius Júnior came on in the second half and appeared to score from Jude Bellingham’s pass. However, VAR ruled that he pulled Villarreal defender Nathan Saliba’s hair in the build-up. The goal was disallowed and Vinicius was sent off for violent conduct. Real Madrid held on for the win, but Mourinho reportedly avoided speaking to the media to reduce the risk of a touchline ban before matches against Sevilla and Barcelona. Vinicius later apologised to his teammates and supporters, while he could now face a suspension that may affect his availability for El Clásico.
