- "Racism and insults need to be fought against, but what happens on the pitch is something else entirely. Vinicius was aggressive, and I am surprised that his red card was cancelled. One has nothing to do with the other," said Javi Hernandez.

Earlier it was reported that the Spanish Sports Competition Committee, after many hours of discussion, decided to cancel Vinicius Junior's disqualification. The main reason was the referee's lack of full information about the incident, including a key part of it, which led to an incorrect assessment of the episode.
