Valencia 1-0 Real Madrid: Vinicius Junior sent off after racist chants at Mestalla
Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr points towards someone in the stands before being sent off late on for a separate incident
"It wasn't the first time, nor the second, nor the third. Racism is normal in La Liga. The competition thinks it's normal, the Federation does too and the opponents encourage it. The game was momentarily paused in the second half as the Real forward reacted angrily to an incident in the stands. "La Liga has a problem. For me Vinicius is the most important player in the world. La Liga has a problem, these episodes of racism have to stop the match.
"Valencia CF wishes to publicly condemn any type of insult, attack or disqualification in football," the statement read. Former England and Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand questioned how much support Vinicius is receiving in a post on Instagram."How many times do we need to see this young man subjected to this? I see pain, I see disgust, I see him needing help... and the authorities don't help him."No-one deserves this, yet you are allowing it. There needs to be a unified approach to this otherwise it will be swept under the carpet AGAIN.
