Vinicius Jr. Faced Racism
For the unversed, earlier, a group of Brazilian football stars, including Neymar, rallied behind Vinicius Jr. after the Real Madrid forward was criticized for his goal celebrations and told to tone them down.
Vinicius Jr. has been impressive in that season, scoring five goals and providing three assists across all competitions. However, his animated celebrations, often featuring dance moves by the corner flag, have angered some opponents in La Liga.
On a Spanish football show, a panelist accused Vinicius of disrespecting his opponents with his dance moves, likening his behavior to that of a “monkey.” This comparison immediately drew outrage on social media for its racist undertones.

Neymar took to X/Twitter and also tweeted in support of Vinicius, writing, “Am I the only one who woke up hoping @vinijr scores tomorrow? #BailaViniJr (Dance, Vini Jr).”
Real Madrid released a statement condemning the racist and xenophobic comments directed at Vinicius Jr. and announced plans to take legal action against those responsible for such remarks.
The statement read, “Real Madrid C. F. condemns all types of racist and xenophobic language and behavior in football, sport, and life in general, like the regrettable comments made against our player Vinicius Junior in recent hours.”
The club further expressed Its support for Vinicius Jr., saying, “Real Madrid extends its affection and support to Vinicius Jr., a player who views football as a celebration of life through joy, respect, and sportsmanship.
