Wednesday 13 March 2024, by
The Brazilian striker of Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior, would have been targeted by racist insults during his vacation in Morocco.
Vinicius Junior’s vacation, as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador in Morocco last month, where he met fans and played football with young people, visited a school in Marrakech, was not all pleasant.
According to images posted on social media, the 23-year-old player was the victim of racist insults from spectators while participating in a friendly match. In a video, someone, it seems, called him a monkey at least twice, the Daily Mail believes to know.
Last May, Vinicius had suffered the same insults. He was called a "monkey" by opposing supporters on Sunday, May 21, during his club’s defeat against Valencia (1-0). In March, he mocked by scoring a brace that allowed his club to draw at the Mestella in the LaLiga confrontation.
In January, he responded to the attack of Atlético supporters on social media. Scorer during Real Madrid’s extra-time victory over their rival in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey (3-1), he posted a photo of his celebration of the third goal, with the caption: "Vini loves Madrid. And there is only one." A response to the message from the Colchoneros fans: "Madrid hates Real."
