Vinicius was once again the victim of racist insults from the rival fans, something that has been happening throughout the season in La Liga. He faced off with home supporters and pointed directly to one after racist insults during the second half.
It all happened in a match at the Mestalla stadium when Real Madrid took on Valencia. Yunus Musah, who plays for Voro's side, gave an interview to 'The Guardian' and spoke about the racist abuse.
"If you're racist to him, you're racist to me. I was quite far away from where the incident started, because it was a group of fans next to him, behind our goal," he began.
"But what I didn't recognize obviously was … where the whole stadium was really chanting against him. While they didn't, not everyone knew what was going on.
"So that was quite sad to see, the stadium being at its loudest to chant against someone that was being racially abused. The stadium was as loud as I've ever heard, you know, and that was like, I can't imagine how it must have felt for him.
"Honestly, I wasn't shocked, because I've seen a lot of that stuff happen a lot before. Not in our stadium, but around La Liga. So I wasn't really surprised. Which is sad, because, it's just really shouldn't be normal," he concluded.
