Although everyone seemed to be praising the Brazilian footballer currently for his famous celebration, there was a time when the Real Madrid forward became the subject of criticism because of his celebration and he even had to face racist comments and remarks.

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 Express Support for Vinicius Jr.

Despite facing criticism in Spain, Vinicius has received support from his fellow Brazilian Neymar, who plays for Saudi Pro League Club, Al Hilal.

Neymar encouraged him to keep expressing himself. “Dribble, dance, and be yourself! Stay happy and do your thing. Let’s go, my boy! Next goal, let’s dance,” he wrote on Instagram.

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. As the world’s most popular sport, football should set an example of values and harmony.”
