Real Madrid coach José Mourinho criticises the timing of Vinícius Júnior’s four-match La Liga suspension, saying it is announced too close to an important Champions League fixture. The suspension is made public by Spain’s RFEF Disciplinary Committee hours before Real Madrid’s European match.
Mourinho questions why the decision is publicised “two hours before” the Champions League game, arguing it affects preparation for a high-stakes contest. Both outlets frame his comments as a reaction to the announcement timing rather than a dispute over the suspension itself, pointing instead to the scheduling and communication of disciplinary actions.
