Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior was sent off against Valencia for the second time in three years at Mestalla on Friday night, with the first match badly marred by the racial abuse suffered by the Brazilian. Now the white club’s channel has found images in which it seems that he has suffered more racism.
Vinicius was sent off for shoving the Valencia goalkeeper in the face, but at no point was there any suggestion of racial abuse, nor did La Liga or the broadcast cameras capture racial insults. The Mestalla audience chanted “idiot” and “beach ball” at Vinicius.
However, Real Madrid TV showed images from the YouTube channels La Nave del Madridismo and Real Madrid Fanatics where shouts of ‘monkey’, ‘fucking black’ and ‘fucking monkey’ can be heard, according to Relevo. This footage is yet to be verified, neither the RFEF nor La Liga have addressed it yet. Real Madrid has not presented the evidence to the governing bodies either.
Vinicius has suffered unfortunate racial abuse on numerous occasions in recent years, despite the greater severity and regularity in punishments for racist abuse. The Brazilian has led the fight against racism in Spanish football, but reportedly admitted on Friday to feeling overwhelmed – although not by racial abuse, as far as is known.
