Watch Vinicius Jr being SENT OFF after heated BRAWL following RACIAL abuse

The latest abuse against Vinícius came in Madrid’s 1-0 loss at Valencia, a match that had to be temporarily stopped after the Brazil forward said he was insulted by a fan behind one of the goals at Mestalla Stadium on Sunday.

The 22-year-old Vinícius, who is is Black, has been subjected to repeated racist abuse since moving to Spain five years ago. “You are not alone. We are with you and we support you,” Mbappé wrote on Instagram.

Mbappé was also hit by racist and hateful comments on social networks following France’s loss to Argentina in the World Cup final last year. Brazilian politicians, including President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, players and clubs have come out to support Vinícius and criticize racism in the Spanish league.

The first trial against a fan accused of racial abuse in Spanish professional soccer is expected to happen at some point this year in a case involving Athletic Bilbao forward Iñaki Williams, who was insulted by an Espanyol supporter in a match in 2020.
