"

Card

?"

Vinicius

yelled at

Figueroa Vázquez

.

And the referee agreed.

At that moment, and after a game that was being quiet, the Brazilian footballer fell to the ground, disconsolate and laughing, while Espanyol

waited

to take out the free kick he had made on

Cabrera

.

A foul after a struggle 80 meters from the goal.

A rigorous decision that

Ancelotti

protested from the band.

On the pitch,

Modric

made "

calm

" gestures to

Vinicius

and

Kroos

approached to hug him and whisper some advice in his ear.

It was the

eighth yellow card

of the season for the Brazilian, against one of the players with the most warnings in the competition:

Baena

(Villarreal),

Javi Sánchez

(Valladolid) and

Óscar Gil

(Espanyol), with nine.

A contradictory fact as Vinicius is the footballer, by far, who suffers the most fouls on each day.

3.9 per game

, more than any other player in Europe (3.3

Neymar

, the second) and one more per duel than the second in this section in Spain:

Isi Palazón

2.9.

"This season a lot is happening.

It cannot be that I am the player who is fouled the most

and the one who

has the most cards

," complained the Brazilian in the mixed zone, where he criticized the treatment given to him by the referees: "When it's with me the The referees don't whistle or card the others, but whenever I make the first foul they card me.

It's what it is

."

However, against Espanyol, he avoided the controversies of other matches and managed to focus on football, scoring the equalizer and being important in the team's comeback: "He seemed exemplary to me today, he didn't protest, he didn't say anything... He played very well, it must continue like this", Ancelotti praised him, while the Brazilian took the advice: "I have to try to improve and keep my head calm to play and help my teammates.

However, on the pitch

Carletto

did not hide his anger.

When Figueroa whistled the end of the first half, the Italian waited for him at the entrance to the changing room tunnel to ask Vinicius about the card: "I asked the referee for an explanation and he gave it to me, he told me it was a persistent grab and that's why he He has taken out the card", the technician later admitted in the press room.

"I didn't understand it,

it wasn't an action from a promising attack

. I didn't understand it, but nothing happens.

I don't understand the yellow cards they give him

, sometimes he protests, but his attitude has been exemplary, he scored a fantastic goal. They have given him thrown many yellow cards for the kicks he receives", he added.

In the stands of the

Santiago Bernabéu

, almost everything led to the '

Negreira Case

'.

The investigation into the payments of FC Barcelona to the former vice-president of the referees

Enríquez Negreira

, developed exclusively by

EL MUNDO

, and the prosecution's accusation against the Catalan team dominated the match against Espanyol.

"

Corruption in the Federation

!" Chamartín sang again along with the chants that already sounded in the Cup classic: "Barça is always stealing."

On this occasion, with the help of the fans of the parakeet team, who also protested against the involvement of the Catalans in the '

Negreira Case

'.

In the press room, Ancelotti preferred not to comment on the subject, waiting, like everyone else, for the

Board of Directors

this Sunday, in which Madrid could decide to appear as a private prosecution.

"I think it's an important issue and I'd rather not talk about it," replied the Italian, who reached 100 league victories: "

Ah, very good. Let's go for the next 100

," he joked.
