The Brazilian Vinicius Júnior has once again fallen victim to racism in Spain. A section of the Valencia fans, who faced and beat Real Madrid 1-0 on Sunday, shouted racist insults aimed at the Brazilian player in the second half of the match, interrupted and then restarted by the referee, due to the infractions.
In extra time of the match, the Brazilian, angry and destabilized by his rivals, was sent off after an argument with forward Hugo Duro, who hit him in the arm. He got a yellow card, but after reviewing the VAR’s offer, he was sent off for arbitration.
The episode generated revolt in Real Madrid, whose coach, Carlo Ancelotti, dedicated his entire press conference to talking about the racism case after the match. The controversy then increased when the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, criticized Vinicius for complaining about the body’s attitude towards cases of racism.
There are many incidents of racial prejudice against Vini Jr. Recently, the Brazilian testified before the Spanish court in the context of the case in which he was called a “monkey” by a Mallorca fan in February this year.
“It wasn’t the first time, nor the second nor the third. Racism is normal in La Liga. The competition thinks it’s normal, even the federation does it and the opponents encourage it. I’m very sorry. The league that once belonged to Ronaldinho , Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi today is one of the racists” the athlete said on his Twitter profile.
The Brazilian also warned against the image Spain passes abroad by allowing such attacks to take place in the nation’s biggest sporting competition. “A beautiful nation, which has welcomed me and which I love, but which has agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world. I am sorry for the Spaniards who do not agree, but today, in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists”.
