The Brazilian winger hit out at the officiating, after Real Madrid's victory over Espanyol.

"When the other players foul, they don't get a yellow card. When I commit my first one, it's yellow for me, Vinicius said.

He added that he didn't want protection from the referees, but he wanted them to referee the game more fairly and not only book other players after 15 fouls.

As noted by Football Espana, Real Madrid are also unhappy with the treatment that their star attacker is receiving. The publication noted that Vini Jr was fouled 10 times against Real Mallorca but was shown a yellow before any of their players were handed a card.

By the start of February, Vinicius had already been fouled 79 times in La Liga.
