Vinicius Jr Racial Abuse: Vinicius Jr Red Card: In response to racial taunts directed towards Real Madrid striker Vinicius Junior, La Liga has said it would look into the matter. In the second half of the La Liga match, which Valencia won 1-0, play was paused for almost six minutes due to an argument. Although after a fierce altercation, the Brazilian was subsequently dismissed. Vinicius has used social media to denounce the behaviour and criticise La Liga for doing little to stop it.

“The prize the racists have won is my red card. It’s not football, it’s La Liga.” Vinícius Jr. posted on his Instagram after Real Madrid’s game at Valencia
“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. “ Vinicius wrote on Twitter.
“A beautiful nation, which welcomed me and which I love, but which agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world. I’m sorry for the Spaniards who don’t agree, but today, in Brazil, Spain is known as a country of racists. And unfortunately, for everything that happens each week, I have no defense. I agree. But I am strong and I will go to the end against racists. Even if far from here. ” he added.

Valencia fans allegedly racially abused Vinicius with around 15 minutes remaining. Because the Brazilian winger was plainly agitated, the game had to be stopped for a bit. Vinicius Junior hit Hugo Duro in the face and was subsequently handed a red card. The Brazilian, on the other hand, picked out someone in the audience and appeared to accuse them of racism.
Valencia’s custodian, Giorgi Mamardashvili, began it all by running out from behind his net and challenging Vinicius. During the subsequent melee, Hugo Duro momentarily grabbed Vinicius’ neck. After punching a player in the face and conferring with VAR, the 22-year-old was ejected.

As Vinicius walked off the pitch, he was welcomed with a chorus of jeers from the Valencia fans. In reaction, the Real Madrid winger infuriated the local fans. He signalled to the spectators with two fingers that they may be relegated to Spain’s second tier.
Vinicius has been subjected to racist abuse on an alarmingly frequent basis throughout the 2022-23 season, according to eight allegations lodged by La Liga. The next steps in the aftermath of another chaotic game in Spain’s first division, which saw the division make headlines for far too many unjustifiable reasons, are still unknown, as are which authorities will take action.
