The Spanish Football Federation's decision to suspend Real Madrid star Vinicius Júnior for only two matches has ignited widespread debate in the football community.
The suspension followed events during Real Madrid's recent La Liga clash against Valencia, which drew criticism over the fairness of disciplinary actions in the league.
Vinícius Suspension Angers Iñigo Martínez as Barcelona Criticizes Real Madrid
In a striking comment, Barcelona defender Iñigo Martínez stated, "I was suspended for four matches over a much smaller incident than what Vinícius did. We cannot stay silent about these unfair standards. Double standards in a league as big as La Liga are unacceptable."
Martínez's remarks reflect a growing frustration among Barcelona fans and players, who believe Real Madrid benefits from preferential treatment when it comes to disciplinary decisions.
This controversy puts the Spanish Football Federation under scrutiny, raising questions about the consistency and fairness of penalties across clubs. Is there really a double standard? The coming days are likely to bring more reactions and debates.
