Real Madrid winger, Vinicius Junior has claimed that La Liga belongs to racists after finding himself at the receiving end of racist abuse, once again. The Brazilian was sent off as Los Blancos lost 1-0 to Valencia on Sunday. Vinicius was subjected to discriminatory chants from fans during the game. La Liga announced that it will commence a proper investigation into this matter.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side went a goal down 10 minutes before halftime, with Diego Lopez tapping in what proved to be the winner. Madrid pressed for an equalizer, but the game was paused for several minutes after Vinicius claimed to receive racist abuse from spectators sitting behind the goal. The referee spoke to the fourth official and coaches on the touchline before play was resumed again.
However, Vinicius was shown a red card after he appeared to strike Hugo Duro. The player posted on his Instagram story after the match: “It wasn’t the first time, not the second, and not the third. Racism is normal in La Liga. “The competition thinks it’s normal, so does the Federation, and the opponents encourage it. I am so sorry. The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano, and Messi, today belongs to the racists,” wrote Vini Jr. on Twitter.
Vinicius Junior sent shocking message by La Liga president after Real Madrid star suffers more racist abuse at Valencia
Vinicius suffered more racist abuse in Real Madrid’s latest La Liga fixture, but the division’s president has told him to “inform yourself properly”. That shocking response was offered by Javier Tebas, the man in charge of top-flight football in Spain. La Liga has come in for criticism once again following the actions of certain Valencia supporters at the Mestalla on Sunday, with Vinicius pointing out some of those responsible as officials threatened to suspend the contest indefinitely.
The Brazil international, who has been subjected to racist taunts on a regular basis this season, posted on social media afterward the above message. As per him, racism has become quite common in La Liga.
Tebas responded to the South American in a post of his own but took no responsibility for La Liga’s failure to rid itself of the discriminatory acts that continue to tarnish its image. He said: “We have tried to explain to you what La Liga is and what it can do in cases of racism, but you have not shown up to either of the two agreed dates that you yourself requested. Before criticizing and insulting La Liga, you need to inform yourself properly Vinicius”.
