The match between Valencia and Real Madrid ended with a 2-1 victory for the latter, played at the Mestaya Stadium in their delayed encounter from the 12th round of the 2024-2025 Spanish League season.
As a result, Real Madrid moves to the top of the league standings with 43 points, having won 13 matches, drawn 4, and lost 2, scoring 43 goals and conceding 19. In contrast, Valencia sits in 19th place with just 12 points.
According to Defensa Central, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is pleased with the team’s dramatic victory, which returned them to the top of the league.
However, the newspaper also reports that Pérez expressed concern about Brazilian forward Vinícius Jr.’s behavior, particularly his reactions to crowd provocation. Pérez reportedly told a board member that Vinícius’ actions could increase the likelihood of him leaving the club.
Though Pérez has long been a supporter of Vinícius, the president’s patience is reportedly wearing thin due to the player’s unrestrained actions.
Pérez believes the team performed more fluidly after Vinícius was sent off, which raises the possibility of the club considering selling him, potentially making waves in the upcoming transfer market.
