On Sunday in the Spanish "La Liga" championship, Madrid's "Real" lost to the "Valencia" team by a minimum score of 0:1.
However, after the match, more attention was drawn not to the actual game, but to racist insults directed at "Real" star Vinicius Junior.
At the end of the match, the Brazilian finally lost his temper and was sent off the field for hitting an opponent during a scuffle.
After the game, support for the Brazilian was expressed not only by the "royal" club's coach Carlo Ancelotti, but also by football personalities such as Rio Ferdinand and Gary Lineker.
After the match, V. Junior publicly spoke out on his "Instagram" account, where he didn't hold back criticism towards both the "La Liga" authorities and all of Spain.
"This was certainly not the first, second, or third time. Racism in "La Liga" matches is a completely normal practice.
The league officials and the leaders of the Spanish Football Federation do nothing about it, and sometimes opponents even encourage it.
I am very sorry that a league that used to belong to stars like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano or Messi now belongs to racists.
Spain is a wonderful country that welcomed me very nicely, but it has a very deep-rooted culture of racism.
I apologize to the Spaniards who think differently, but in Brazil, Spain is considered a haven for racists. Unfortunately, I cannot deny this statement in any way. I agree with it.
I will not give up and will fight against racism until the end. Even if I am far away from here," - shared V. Junior in a heartfelt message.
