After being sent off at Mestalla, the Brazilian posted in an Instagram story shortly after.

Vincius was in the centre of the action on Sunday at Mestalla. After a string of confrontations that started with an alleged racial slur from the spectators, the Brazilian striker was sent off in stoppage time.

The Madrid player was given a warning for pushing Hugo Duro during a fight before referee Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea used VAR to determine that he should be sent off. "My dismissal was the reward the racists received. It's LaLiga, not football," Vincius said in a story on his own Instagram account, referring to the body under Javier Tebas's leadership as Carlo Ancelotti did afterwards.


Vincius strikes back

LaLiga was characterised as racist by Vincius shortly after the initial post, who then used social media to further his message of condemnation: "It wasn't the first time, nor the second, nor the third. In LaLiga, racism is commonplace. The Federation, the opposition, and the competition all view it as normal and even promote it. I apologise. The racists now control the league that formerly belonged to Messi, Ronaldinho, Cristiano, and Ronaldo. a stunning country that I was welcomed into and that I adore, but that also consented to exporting its discriminatory image to the rest of the globe. I'm sorry to those Spanish people who disagree, but Brazil now views Spain as a racist nation. And regrettably 


I have no defence for anything that occurs every week. I concur. But I am a strong person, and I will fight the bigots until the bitter end. even though it is distant from here.

Additionally, Carlo Ancelotti used social media to support his post-game remarks. "Today in Mestalla was a sad day, as several supporters displayed their ugliest traits. It's time to put the words aside and take firm action. In either society or football, racism has no place. No room for racism here.

Vincius received racial epithets at Mestalla that were condemned by Valencia in a statement and by Valencia captain José Luis Gayá. The defender for Valencia wrote: 


The purpose of the cameras is to denounce it. I don't think he should be permitted at a football stadium any longer if it's obvious who it was. Racist epithets are completely absurd.

LaLiga has declared that it has already responded to the happenings at Mestalla. In order to investigate what happened, they have asked for access to the stadium's photos. If they find evidence of a hate crime, as Vincius says, they will move forward with the necessary legal steps. They will also look into the pictures where Vincius is allegedly the target of racist taunts outside Mestalla. "LaLiga has been proactive in the face of all racist incidents," they continued. 

against Vinicius Jr. LaLiga has so complained nine times in the past two seasons to the courts, the hate prosecutor's office, the State Commission against Violence, Racism, and Intolerance in Sport, and the RFEF Competition Committee.

In light of this incident, LaLiga requests assistance in "quickening the identification of any person or group of persons who manifest racist behaviour in any stadium or outside thereof," adding that the following e-mail address is accessible for this purpose. StopRacismo@laliga.es
