Managing Madrid contributor Felipejack reviews Real Madrid's recent performances, arguing that the team is struggling under manager Jose Mourinho despite securing three points. The writer highlights Vinicius Junior's recent red card and poor form, noting that the player's reaction required teammates to restrain him. Due to the referee's official report, Vinicius faces a potential suspension of at least two matches, putting his availability for the upcoming El Clasico in doubt.

Felipejack also criticizes inconsistent officiating in LaLiga, referencing unpunished incidents involving Elche's Osorio and Dean Huijsen alongside past historical non-calls. While acknowledging the frustration surrounding refereeing criteria, the author states that Vinicius's foul was legitimate and his subsequent disciplinary reaction remains a recurring concern for the club.
