Vinicius Jr says «racism is normal in LaLiga» and that «the championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi today belongs to racists» after once again being subjected to racist chants on Sunday.
The Brazil international was targeted by chants from sections of the crowd at the Mestalla during Real Madrid’s 1-0 loss to Valencia.
The game was stopped in the second half for 10 minutes as the visibly angry 22-year-old grabbed the referee and pointed towards fans who he felt had abused him.
Vinicius was later sent off for violent conduct in added time following an altercation with striker Hugo Duro.
He tweeted after the game: «It wasn’t the first time, nor the second, nor the third. Racism is normal in LaLiga. In football they think it’s normal, the federation does too – and the opponent encourages it.
«I’m so sad. The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano [Ronaldo] and [Lionel] Messi today belongs to racism.
