On August 29, Real Madrid star Vinicius stated that if he faces racial abuse again in the new season, he will leave the pitch together with his Real Madrid teammates as a form of protest.
When talking about this topic, Vinicius was very emotional: “The only feasible way to completely eliminate racial abuse in football is to immediately stop the match. When we are at the club, my teammates and I often discuss this issue. Not just me, but all my teammates have expressed that if such a situation happens again, everyone on the team should leave the pitch immediately. Those who insult us need to face greater consequences.”
Vinicius believes that by doing so, it can reduce the harm caused by racial discrimination and make Spain better: “In this way, we can gradually reduce racial discrimination. Although we cannot completely end such behavior, I am glad to gradually make Spain a better place.”
