Returning to the scene of the crime. Tomorrow (Saturday, 10:00 p.m.) Real Madrid will host Valencia at the Stadion, and for Vinicius it is going to be an especially emotional game when he is going to meet the fans who made him one of the most memorable outbursts in recent years in world football.
In this context, the coach of Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti Referred to the local crowd: “I wish them to enjoy a good game, but I’m sorry to tell them that I hope they will be sad at the end.”
Remember, this will be the first time that the 23-year-old player returns to Masatilla since that incident last May, in the 73rd minute, when he received harsh racist chants from the stands of Valencia fans.;
Following the harsh calls that Vinicius received, the game was stopped for 10 minutes, with the Brazilian marking the specific fans who cursed him and growled at him. After that, a fight started between a Real Madrid player and those of the host, in the end the Blancos winger was sent off.

According to Vinicius, many fans called him a “monkey” (GETTY) following that incident, Vinicius received tremendous support in the world of sports, with some of the world’s greatest footballers posting and encouraging him on the networks. Carlo Ancelotti even said at the end: “The whole stadium cursed him on a racist basis.”; In Valencia, they claimed that there were those who thought they heard the crowd shout “Mono” (monkey in Spanish), but what was actually said by most of the crowd was “Tonto” (stupid).
Some of the tributes to which Vinicius was even before us. On March 26, a match between the Brazilian team and Spain will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu in support of Vinicius in the fight against racism.
Ancelotti added in the same context: “What the crowd wants to see is a good game. We must not forget what happened last year. Valencia did not empathize with these racist fans. Vinicius is crazy about the game, as always. He does what it takes to be the best there is and I don’t have what to add”.
On a different matter, but no less important for Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti announced at the press conference before the match: “Jude Bellingham has recovered from the injury and is 100% fit”. The midfielder may take part in the match against Valencia tomorrow at the Stadion, when on Wednesday the Blancos will host RB Leipzig in the second leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League.
