Vinicius Jr. was the great protagonist of yesterday’s match between Real Madrid and Valencia CF. After a meeting in which the racist protocol for insults against the Brazilian, the Real Madrid player ended up being expelled in the 97th minute after slapping Hugo Duro. However, Courtois, the goalkeeper of the merengue team, does not believe that this decision was the right one, at least not completely. “Hugo Duro takes him by the neck, the first red is for Hugo Duro,” he revealed. After the incident, Vinicius, visibly angry with both the fans and the referee’s decision, made a gesture to the Mestalla indicating that the Valencian team was going “to Second”, something that bothered the fans a lot.
Anyone who watched the game knows that it was a controversial game. So much so that Ancelotti, at the press conference, ended up arguing with various journalists. One of them recriminated him that it was not true that all the fans had yelled at him ‘mono‘ to Vinicius, if not, in reality, they had called him ‘stupid’. However, the Italian coach replied that for a ‘fool’ the referee does not stop the game and activates the protocol against racism.
Likewise, a still upset Vinicius, who was signing autographs for the fans at the end of the match, was assaulted by a journalist from Superdeporte that made the Real Madrid player explode after asking him: “Are you going to apologize?”, in reference to the gesture to the Valencian stands, to which Vinicius visibly answered annoyed: “Are you stupid?” After the incident, the Brazilian player laughed wryly and continued signing autographs and taking photos with the fans who were there.
The images have been revealed by the soccer program El Chiringuito and in them you can see Vinicius’s anger at the new signaling that occurred in the field of the Valencian team.
“It’s not the first time, nor the second, nor the third”
In this sense, LaLiga has revealed in a statement that it will investigate the incidents that occurred in the match. “Given the incidents that occurred during Valencia CF – Real Madrid CF at the Mestalla Stadium, LaLiga reports that it has requested all available images to investigate what happened. Once the investigation is concluded, in the event of detecting a hate crime, LaLiga would proceed to take the appropriate legal actions. LaLiga will also investigate the images in which racist insults were allegedly directed towards Vinicius Jr. outside the Mestalla stadium. LaLiga has been proactive in the face of all racist incidents against the Real Madrid CF player, Vinicius Jr. Thus, LaLiga has filed a complaint nine times in the last 2 seasons before the RFEF Competition Committee, State Commission against Violence, Racism, Xenophobia and Intolerance in Sport, the Hate Prosecutor’s Office and the Courts».
It wasn’t the first time, nor the second, nor the third. Racism is normal in La Liga. The competition thinks it’s normal, the Federation does too and the opponents encourage it. I’m so sorry. The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi today belongs to racists. One nation…

Finally, Vinicius has decided not to keep quiet and has written a message on your social networks assuring that “it was not the first time, nor the second, nor the third. Racism is normal in LaLiga. The competition believes that it is normal, the Federation also and the opponents encourage it. I’m sorry. The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi today belongs to racists. A beautiful nation, which welcomed me and the one I love, but which agreed to export to the world the image of a racist country. I feel sorry for the Spaniards who disagree, but today, in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists. And unfortunately, for everything that happens every week, I have no defense. I agree. But I am strong and I will go the distance against racists. Even if it’s far from here.”
