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.

Now everyone left 😂😂😂 that’s alll
It was one of the black players white wife's father and brother who called him monkey.
The Valencia director is utterly despicable and disgusting. I cannot believe he even brought up the ridiculous idea of a "mistake in the language" when the culprits are in the stands acting and calling Vinicius a monkey and multiple people heard and saw it. Unbelievable! This is why racism in Spain continues to thrive. Instead of condemning it head on people like this incredibly stupid director defends them with incredibly stupid excuses.
Stop giving your money to Spain, tourist and foreigner. Hurt them where it hurts, their pockets. Don’t event bother. I will give all my American money to Latina America before I give to Spain and their racist people. Period. 🙂
That's ok Vini,you are payed millions for being insulted.I wish i was in your place.
Racism can be dealt with by referees and football authorities but since whole nation is happy with status quo nothing will change
In Brazil they can think many things, but they voyed for Bolsonaro, blacks live in favelas and they don't treat indigenous well… Spain has racism, every country has, but I'm pissed of because the most racist countries are using Spain as an excuse to look better.
Spain has racism and this should be solved. Most of the countries have much more racism. Both phrases are true in my experience after having lived in 4 different countries and made friends from all over the world
He's not wrong. It's their culture. I support you Vini. Stay strong, brother. Sending respect and love from St. Louis, MO.
laliga is disgusting from s.korea
The crowd was chanting Tonto.
FIFA don't have idea of how to settle racism.two things should minimize racist,one deducting of five point from the team their fans is misbehaving,two playing without a home fan for two games.thats all .
americans and british need to understand rest of the world is not like them. nobody in rest of the world takes racism and try to make it into marathon debate sport where for 24/7 365 days a year we need to find out who is bad who is good what from this moment on needs to be done who needs to be ally who needs to chnge. i mean it is tiresome and give no result we just have to see your societies. rest of the world is more interested in spending 24/7 365 talking about them selfs and not turning some world issues into debate sport where everybody competes to give virtue signals
Boycott La Liga !
This racism is nothing but envy and hatred and shows the full respect of anti-social fans in paid football. They can still KNEE for days, it's for nothing. Similar now with Hasan Salihamidžić in the same form with the words "should go back to Kosovo. You can save yourself all the crap in England with your knees.
Join Arsenal Vinicius. Your Brazilian brothers there will welcome u with open arms. And u will get excellent support from fans in the EPL.
This is absurd ! Vinicius Jr is not the only Black player on the field or on both teams. I can assure you that the racist chants resonated with Black players on both teams. This spineless referee and spineless president of La Liga would have to be fired on the spot for failing to their duty, and Valencia to be relegated. That would send a clear message to the rest of the league. Maybe it would take a White player to take a bold stand and initiate the walk off the field in solidarity with Black players, but I doubt we will ever see that.
Se debe de dejar cada partido cuando ocurre esto. Y todos tendrán que perder su dinero con todo esto. Es la única justicia. Ya estamos en 2023 y creen que, en el mundo moderno, ¿este comportamiento debe permanecer? ¡EDÚQUENSE! Es simplemente un caso de ser CORTO Y NECIO, actuarse de tal manera RACISTA.
valencia fans should be banned for good from attending matches this will show others
(football clubs) that there is no room for racism.
simple….
Thought Spain was a good place. Such failed society living on such a developed beautiful country? Something is wrong with their education system.
Some behind organs(westerns) play some conspiracy with black 🇧🇷ian footballer because of affecting 🇧🇷 economy since the country allies with 🇷🇺 and 🇨🇳 i think.
Have you heard the fans who were shouting racist chants at Rudiger? Yeah, right. How can that be acceptable? I don't care which side of the team you support, you gotta treat the players, the audience, the staff workers fair and with respect, regardless of their gender, race, and age.
Bro, please I don't understand what you're saying. Love you much 💋
Laliga hierarchy some of the players managers they all have the same views can't see much change fifa needs to step in and punish this lot serverly and make an example But fifa is only interested in making money
If you show that you are vulnerable to name calling you invite it when the fans turn on you. Racism is essentially no different than any other insult based on immutable characteristics.
Dont give racism any more reverence than what it is: a facile insult to mask a deeper resentment.
