Vinicius Jr. is currently one of the most sought-after players in the world. However, he has been subjected to racial abuse from La Liga fans on multiple occasions. He has been targeted almost everywhere he goes to play. Discriminatory behavior like racial abuse must not be entertained in football, a sport with such a large following.
Despite being a major league in Europe, La Liga has yet to address such discriminatory behaviors that occur in and around their league. As a result of the repetitive incidents, Real Madrid has filed a complaint against the negligent behavior.
Real Madrid file complaint against Juan Martinez Munuera
During a recent La Liga match between Real Madrid and Osasuna, Madrid emerged victorious with a 4-2 win over their opponents. The talented Brazilian forward, Vinicius Jr., scored two goals for Madrid, showcasing his impressive skills on the field. However, the match referee, Juan Martinez Munuera, made a controversial decision by issuing Vinicius a yellow card for seemingly no reason.
This decision caused a stir among fans and players alike, with Real Madrid CF taking swift action to address the issue. The club is now calling on the higher Federation body to investigate the matter further and ensure that justice is served.
Real Madrid is a club that boasts a reputation for being of the highest stature in the world of football. One of the reasons for this is the fact that the club takes great pride in standing up for its players.
This not only fosters a strong sense of loyalty and dedication among the players towards the club, but it also helps to maintain the club’s reputation as a fair, just, and responsible organization.
Vinicius Jr.’s struggle with racial discrimination in La Liga
Vinicius Jr. has unfortunately been a victim of discriminatory behavior on the field multiple times. It is deeply disheartening to note that he has been singled out and targeted by opposing fans who have made racist comments towards him during matches. But in those moments, his teammates supported him and stood strongly against the racial abuse.
Even their gaffer, Carlo Ancelotti, feels that “A stadium full of people insulting a player is not right and must be taken into account.”
La Liga is a major football league in Europe and should take a stronger stance against discrimination and negligence. Unfortunately, players like Vinicius are often subjected to racist comments and the referees often ignore their complaints. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
