Vinicius Junior returns to face the Valencia fans on Saturday after the last time they met on a football pitch there was a huge debate about racism in Spain.
The Real Madrid winger suffered racial abuse from some 'Ches' fans, prompting the Brazil international to point the finger at them with the intention of eradicating this scourge from the world of football. The 23-year-old winger later uploaded a post on social media calling Spain a racist country, something that fanned the flames of the problem.
Since then it seems that a large part of the Valencia fans do not get on well with Vinicius, something which was questioned by the 'Che' coach Ruben Baraja, who wanted to downplay any kind of controversy between the player and the club. Check out what he had to say.
