La Liga'These episodes of racism can’t happen' declares Ancelotti as Vinicius Jr. hits out at La Liga12 HOURS AGO Earlier, the match was paused for 10 minutes in the second half as an incensed Vinicius pointed out at least one spectator he felt had racially abused him to the referee. He was dismissed in injury time for violent conduct following a huge melee and an altercation with Valencia striker Hugo Duro.

“It wasn't the first time, nor the second, nor the third. Racism is normal in La Liga,” Vinicius wrote on social media. “The competition thinks it's normal, the [Spanish Football] Federation does too and the opponents encourage it.

I'm so sorry. “The championship that once belonged to Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cristiano and Messi today belongs to racists. “A beautiful nation, which welcomed me and which I love, but which agreed to export the image of a racist country to the world.
