‘I wasn’t shocked’ – Valencia footballer over racial slurs against Vinicius Junior

Midfielder “Valencia” Yunus Moussa shared his opinion on the racist incident against the ‘Real’ player Vinicius Junior in the team match.

The incident happened at the Mestalla stadium during the match of the 35th day of the Spanish championship against Valencia (0-1). The encounter was suspended after the 22-year-old Brazilian urged the referee to pay attention to the behavior of the fans. After the game, Vinicius wrote on social media that ‘racism in La Liga is a common thing’.

If you are racist towards him, you are racist towards me. So it was pretty sad to see the stadium go out of their way to sing about someone who was racially abused. I can’t imagine how Vinicius felt at that moment.

To be honest, I wasn’t shocked because I’ve seen this happen many times before. Not in our stadium, but in La Liga. So I wasn’t really surprised. Which is unfortunate because it just shouldn’t be okay,” Musa said.

Previously, several Valencia fans were arrested for racism against the Brazilian footballer from the Madrid club.
