Getafe coach Jos Bordals accused Vincius Jnior of mocking his decision to bring on substitute Allan Nyom -- who was red-carded just 39 seconds later -- as Real Madrid won 1-0 in LaLiga on Sunday.
Nyom was introduced in the 76th minute and sent off seconds later for a challenge on Vincius to leave hosts Getafe with 10 men at the Coliseum.
Kylian Mbapp then scored the game's only goal in the 80th minute, assisted by Arda Gler, before Getafe's lex Sancris was also sent off after being shown a second yellow card for a foul on Vincius.
After Nyom's red card, Bordals was seen exchanging words with Vinicius and Jude Bellingham on the touchline.
"Vincius came up to me and said, 'What a good substitution,'" Bordals told Movistar. "I told him to get back on [the pitch]. And then Bellingham told me I should be on the bench, and I said, 'Go away, don't talk so much.' It was just that. But it's not that important.
"I don't think Vincius should come over and provoke, and say to me, 'Very good substitution.'"
Vincius had started the game on the bench, with coach Xabi Alonso preferring Rodrygo on the left wing.
Madrid's win leaves them at the top of LaLiga as they prepare for a big week hosting Juventus in the Champions League and then Barcelona in next Sunday's Clsico.
"[Vincius] had a good impact on the game," Alonso said in his news conference. "He provoked the [red] cards, and with the substitutions, all that gave us an advantage which we made the most of. It's a good example that everyone is important.
"Coming to Getafe isn't easy, you have to know how to compete. You know it might not be the prettiest game. We were focused and did what he had to do -- we had to roll up our sleeves, we knew it wouldn't be the most spectacular game."
Gler's assist for Mbapp was the fifth time this season that the playmaker has created a goal for the forward.
Mbapp now has 10 goals in LaLiga this season. He also hit the 50-goal mark for club and country in a calendar year with the strike after netting 52 for France and Paris Saint-Germain in 2023.
"[Gler] has that quality," Alonso said. "When he turns and has the final ball, he's able to find Vincius and Mbapp. He's being decisive."
