During the match, the 21-year-old player was very provoked on the field. In addition to suffering 10 fouls throughout the duel, defender Antonio Raíllo tried to make the left winger kiss his team’s crest. The Brazilian was also booed by the fans in the stands.
This is not the first time that the Brazilian has been the target of racist offenses from opposing fans. The same happened this season in clashes against Atlético de Madrid and Valladolid.
Vinícius Júnior will return to play for Real Madrid this Wednesday, in a game valid for the Club World Cup. The team picks up Al Ahly, from Egypt, at 4 pm (Brasília time). Those who pass will face the winner of the match between Flamengo and Al-Hilal in the final of the tournament.
